Hi !!!!

It would read a little less than 360, because its a clockwise turn which will make the DRC underread. Have you learnt the pencil pushing technique? Well let me explain it. take your pencil put it on the table, and put your finger on the middle. If your turn is in the northern hemisphere you push the top part of the pencil to see which way it goes, in this case you are turning right, so push the top part to the right, the pencil turns clockwise
clockwise = underread
anti-clockwise = overread.

hope this helps, if not I'll see if I can make it more clear.

PS. of course if your turn was in the southern hemsiphere you would have to push the lower part.
