Create a line from a single point

I have a table with several points and each point are associated with a length and angle.
I need to create a line or segment from a single point from the length and angle. The coordinates of the point (X, Y) mark the center of the line.

Someone knows some tool or script to create this.

Thanks in advance

Thank you mdnil,

Did not know this tool, greats!. But de problem is that the point is not in the center of the line.
Any solution for this?

Run the tool twice,
once with the angle you have recorded
and again with the reciprocal angle (180° different).
Merge the feature classes and dissolve the line features using
the UNSPLIT_LINES setting.

Good idea!
But with half the length each time.

Many thanks!

All the best!
