Able to specify triangle inner angles
Would it be possible to have an 'advanced' triangle dialogue box where you can specify the angles?. I often need to use this for creating conical cutter guides – I know I can use the rotate tool and use strokes, but feels like it could be much easier as it's very long-winded.

Ben, when I need one, I use ellipse and set its pie parameters.
Then cut, delete, paste, join (this can be put into an action as well, I think).
Definitely faster then fiddling with lines and rotating!There are also several free script solutions the community built to help with creating triangles:
1. Triangle Maker (Side, Side, Angle) by Carlos Canto — https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/custom-angled-triangles-question/m-p/5628371/
2. Triangle Maker (Side, Angle, Angle), same author :)
These two place and rotate the triangle a bit oddly for me persoanlly, but the code can be corrected.
3. JET_RightTriangle.jsx — no longer available publicly, since JET decided to remove and forbid his scripts from the webAnyway, the request is still solid. Ai definitely could use a native tool to do it form the box.
