Finding angle between WCS and user defined WCS

[SGarofolo]

Is there any way to find the angle between normal WCS and a WCS that I have created? I know I can make geometry and then use the analyze function. But I was hoping there was quick way to check that.

In the view manager, you can display the matrix, but this is hardly simpler

I asked years ago for the angle to show up in the View Manager next to the X,Y,Z but it never went anywhere. Using Geometry is about the best bet, but thinking about angels is perspective and from top, front or right view? Each one would Yield a different answer then going back to the Matrix do you want to know the total angle or the compound angle of 2 combinations or 3 combinations? Thing about information what specific information are you looking for? Then what will having that help you decide? Maybe something else that already exist will help you, but since we are not sure what you need hard to know.

It bugs me too. No easy way around it. It would be a nice enhancement for sure.

A C-Hook or a NET-Hook may be...? Hmmm... Make sense for me... Let's see.

Good man Peter - you've taken the bait . Crack on please in your own time

you've taken the bait

 

I did! Believe or not, I just start to work on it for fun, we'll see where it goes.

...and when...

Well, I just started...

I have everything now, I just need your help to point me on the right direction with math...

I'm sure that angles are not correct now. I can read zeros, vectors from MCAM.

But I'm not a math guy...

Any ideas can come!

A would think a base point might help. The angles are great between views but more often that not people do not have the origin of the view where they have the origin of their operation from. Might be nice if they could pick the base points of where they want each related too for the calucations. Other thing might be where are they in relation to Base or Starting WCS from TOP View. You have it one to the other, but what are they to the TOP? Have to grab TOP view and a View, but what are they to TOP?

Well, I just finished something.

Not good yet, but not bad also...

It reads all planes into two colums and after selecting in both, it displays the angles between axis (X-X, Y-Y and Z-Z)

I'm not a math guru as I said, but it's something for start brainstorming and call all math gurus here...

Give a try and let's see where to move forward.
