// Hex Nut
2025-03-06 18:01:24 -05:00
// A hex nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole and a hexagonal outer shape, used in a wide variety of applications to secure parts together. The hexagonal shape allows for a greater torque to be applied with wrenches or tools, making it one of the most common nut types in hardware.

KCL: Angled line should use keyword args (#5803)
We continue migrating KCL stdlib functions to use keyword arguments. Next up is the `angledLine` family of functions (except `angledLineThatIntersects, which will be a quick follow-up).
Before vs. after:
`angledLine({angle = 90, length = 3}, %, $edge)`
=> `angledLine(angle = 90, length = 3, tag = $edge)`
`angledLineOfXLength({angle = 90, length = 3}, %, $edge)`
=> `angledLine(angle = 90, lengthX = 3, tag = $edge)`
`angledLineOfYLength({angle = 90, length = 3}, %, $edge)`
=> `angledLine(angle = 90, lengthY = 3, tag = $edge)`
`angledLineToX({angle = 90, length = 3}, %, $edge)`
=> `angledLine(angle = 90, endAbsoluteX = 3, tag = $edge)`
`angledLineToY({angle = 90, length = 3}, %, $edge)`
=> `angledLine(angle = 90, endAbsoluteY = 3, tag = $edge)`
