    Peter Mican got a reaction from Barry Newman in Working with 360 degree   
    Well explained...
    I just like to rotate an object without a Dr. degree from MIT in a simple and understandable way.
    I use 360 degree circles for 65 years and had no problem with that....
    I sailed the seven seas with a sextant and used 360 degrees...
    Why suddenly this has to be changed to make it inconvenient ?????
    I will survive it

    I have to place items, which are placed in a 360-degree circle.
    For example, placing an  item at 225 degrees in a 360 circle, I have to input 360-225 !!!
    Placing an item on 120 degrees in a 369 circle, I have to input -120 !!!
    That makes no sense at all to me and is prune to mistakes...
    Why not using a simple 360-degree circle, which is standard since millennia ???
    Ask anyone on the street how many degrees are in a circle ?
    You will NEVER get the answer +/- 180 degrees, period !!!
    Why we don't communicate in a computer coding language ?
    Because no one would understand it !!!
    We are using a common well-known language for communicating.
    No problem at all....so from now on we use coding language for everything.
    Why not?

    Try using a +/- 180 degree circle for navigation on a nautical chart with a sextant. Good luck with that...
    It seems, that the education system has nothing other to do than to change everything and making everything more complicated.

    Now Peter, you know 369º = 9º and prune mistakes are definitely not something I want lol
    I'm going to start saying this just to laugh at the expressions on peoples faces lol!

    Hi,
    Is it possible to switch from  +/- 180 degree to 360 degrees rotation angles ? 
    That would make working with angles sooooo much easier.
    Thank you very much.

  6. Thanks

    I'm with @Peter Mican why complicate something, isn't the best policy to end up at the lowest common denominator, isn't it good to give people a way to work that suits their way of thinking. My brain doesn't automatically think that circle is two 180º arcs, I think it's a complete 360º circle.
    +1 for a 360º dial that starts with 0 at the top. Be more amadine
