Angles in radians in command line
When I use the angular dimension command the angle on the drawing is indicated in degrees as it should be. On the commandline however this angle is mentioned in radians. Is there a way to change the command line to indicate angular dimensions in degrees also?

Sounds like you need to set the AUNITS variable. Type command UNITS and in the dialog open the Angular Units heading to change the Angular unit type. (assuming english version)
Does that help?

Greg,
Thanks for your reply, sorry it did not help. The angular units were already in decimal degrees. The problem occurs in the command line, not on the drawing itself.

Marcel: In what situation does you problem occur? Is it perhaps related to the use of a lisp-function?

Roy,
I can not imagine it has something to do with a lisp-function. It must be something very basic. Why is an angle displayed in radians in the commandline?

The comand line output for built-in commands will follow the setting of the AUNITS variable. A custom lisp routine can change the value of AUNITS and may even leave it changed in the case of an incomplete program. Dimensions do not use the value of the AUNITS variable, I believe the variable is DIMAUNIT in that case.
Perhaps if you post the value of your AUNITS variable, type _AUNITS at the command line and describe a specific set of commands and actions resulting in radians being displayed someone can help you out better.
AUNITS values:
0 = decimal degrees
1 = degreees, minutes, seconds
2 = gradians (400 per circle)
3 = radians
4 = surveyor units (quadrant bearings in degrees, minutes, seconds)

Thank you for all your replies. Bricsys have responded and they will fix the problem.
