This small macro create a line giving as an argument the XYZ coordinates, length, and angle

Use

Can be used from the Freecad macro editor.

If the macro is copied in the Python console, you can you can use it by:

>>> line_length(x1 = 0, y1 = 0, z1 = 0, length = 10, angle = 45)

or choice

>>> line_length(x1 = 10, y1 = 10, z1 = 0, length = 50)

>>> line_length(length = 50, angle = 45)

the default values are : x1 = 0, y1 = 0, z1 = 0, length = 10, angle = 0

length = 50       # Edit length
