[feature request] Begin - End option for groove and revolution

[harine9787]

The PartDesign groove and revolution only support the Angle option.

I propose that it should also have the option to select the begin and end angles. For example, begin at 45° and end at 170°.
Currently if a user wants to do this he has to put the sketch in a plane that is at least at 45° or 170° and then add the groove or revolution from there.

With the begin - end options users could add the sketch at 0°, and then just enter to begin at 45° and end at 170°.

+1
Like Pad "2 dimensions" mode.

+1, negative second angle should be possible too.

Currently if a user wants to do this he has to put the sketch in a plane that is at least at 45° or 170° and then add the groove or revolution from there.

There is another workaround: create a second revolve/groove with the same sketch to the other side.

but where should be the start of the groove...? where is the 0°...?

but where should be the start of the groove...? where is the 0°...?

Where the sketch is.

[Shalmeneser]

30° & 15° = from 30° clockwise to 15° anti-clockwise
30° & 15° & reversed = from 30° anti-clockwise to 15° clockwise

(30° & -15° = from 30° clockwise to 15° clockwise (the sketch is outside the revolution/groove))

you're getting confused on the terminology, yours is an Issue, I mentioned a PR (Pull Request), that is ajinkya dahale's
