Summary0003974: Feature that snaps arc angles to 45° increments don't work correctly (lack of internal precision)
DescriptionWhen using the feature that snaps arc angles to 45° increments, the internal precision is not sufficient & results in weird behavior.
Steps To ReproduceDownload attached file and try to revolve the sketch around sketch Y axis. It fails with a "Revolve axis intersects the sketch" while it is unexpected.
Replacing 90° angles with perpendicular constraints fixes the issue.
Editing the 90° angles and reentering the value manually fixes the issue.
Additional InformationFrom investigations, it seems to be due to lack of decimal precision in the angle values used by the polyline tool.
Below the angle value first after creation by polyline then after manual reentering
>>> Gui.ActiveDocument.Sketch.Object.Constraints[8].Value
1.570796
>>> Gui.ActiveDocument.Sketch.Object.Constraints[8].Value
1.5707963267948966
Or same with values in degrees
>>> Gui.ActiveDocument.Sketch.Object.Constraints[8].Value*180/math.pi
89.99998127603168
>>> Gui.ActiveDocument.Sketch.Object.Constraints[8].Value*180/math.pi
90.0
This is also seeable by zooming on the small segment line that lies on the Y axis. Below a view just after creation by polyline.

Committer: abdullahtahiriyo Details Diff 		Sketcher: Polyline snap arc to 45 degrees bug fix

=================================================

fixes 0003974

Snapping to 45 degrees during arc creation (hold ctrl during an arc within a polyline), resulted in
reduced precision, because Gui::Command::doCommand %f defaults only to six decimal positions, which is
a poor representation in radians of, for example, 90 degrees.

A work-around could have been to hardcode a higher number of decimals, as in %0.Xf. However, I do not like
such magic numbers.

The solution chosen is to use an App.Quantity object using as units degrees, which leads to no loss of precision.		 Affected Issues
