Re: Trouble constructing a drawer rail with MP

[Mikael Sundqvist <mickep@gmail.com>]

Hi,

It was in fact not really "working", but it just happened that it
looked more or less correct in one case, but not in the other.

For example: The path Pkt[1]--dir(194)*10mm for example is not given
by the two points Pkt[1] and "Pkt[1] shifted 10mm in direction 194
degrees", but Pkt[1] and the point which is 10mm from the origin,
rotated 194 degrees.
