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.

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
