Radius and angle issues with addArc

[Rambler]

If I type addArc(10,10,100,1.5,3) at the command line of the script shell I get an arc of radius 1.74 (wrong), starting at 1.5 degrees (wrong, =value treated as a degrees value where it should be treated as radians) and ending at 171 degrees. The addCircle command has a similar radius parameter but gets it right.

Also, if I enter an undefined parameter, e.g. addArc(10,10,100,1.5, end) where "end" is declared but has no value assigned, the error text is confused, viz:

ecma> addArc(10,10,100,1.5, end)
Error: -1: RArc(): no matching constructor found. <native>(10, 10, 1.7453292519943295, 0.02617993877991494, undefined) at -1 addArc(center = 10, radius = 10, startAngle = 100, endAngle = 1.5, reversed = undefined) at :/scripts/simple_create.js:195 <eval>() at 1 <native>('js', 'addArc(10,10,100,1.5, end) ') at -1 <anonymous>(expression = 'addArc(10,10,100,1.5, end) ') at :scripts/Misc/MiscDevelopment/EcmaScriptShell/EcmaScriptShell.js:349 <anonymous>(command = 'addArc(10,10,100,1.5, end)') at :scripts/Misc/MiscDevelopment/EcmaScriptShell/EcmaScriptShell.js:256 <native>() at -1 main() at :scripts\autostart.js:826 <global>() at :scripts\autostart.js:839

This happens both on my PC (Windows 10, x86, QCAD 3.24.2) and macBook (macOS 10.15, QCAD 3.24.2)

AddArc is a function in simple_create.js
Apart from that you are missing 'reversed' in your trial code.
Usage is:
* addArc(cx,cy, radius, startAngle, endAngle, reversed)
* addArc([cx,cy], radius, startAngle, endAngle, reversed)
* addArc(new RVector(cx,cy), radius, startAngle, endAngle, reversed)
With 5 entrys it is required that the first one is an array or an RVector.

The functions of simple_create.js use degrees for angles.

Thanks, CVH. That's now working for me. I just wish I could have found that in the documentation!
