Hi there I would like to rotate a hole 7 times through 306 degrees.

360/7 = 51.428571 etc etc

How can I define decimal places to at least 2 places to give me 51.43 degrees?

Am I missing an easier way?

I am making a spoke wheel with 7 spokes ( has to be 7 spokes.) Same as the roller skate wheel hubs I posted in the "Show your projects" thread.

Can it be done?

You can also enter "360/7" as an expression in the angle box.

Thank you - I was not aware I could type 360/7 as an expression.

When I do this it rounds up the angle to 51 degrees but actually divides by 51.428571

where if I had typed 51 degrees in manually it would not include the decimal places and my angle would become progressively off each revolution I made around the circumference.
Is this correct?

I hope this makes sense.

We fixed the Angle box on the numeric bar to show two digits of precision.
