To measure angles in graphic documents you can specify:
•rectilinear objects – angle sides,
•points that form angle sides when joined.
The following can be used as a rectilinear object (hereinafter the "segment"):
•segment, segment of a broken line, side of a polygon,
•centerline type object,
•construction line,
Options for specifying the sides of angles to measure are described below.
Specifying segments as angle sides
Specify segments in pairs — the angle sides. For this purpose move the cursor to the first segment, and when the segment is highlighted, click it with the mouse. The appearance of the cursor will change. Then select the second segment in the same way. The position of the angle vertex is auto-calculated.
The name of the first segment is displayed in the Object field of the Parameter Panel. If you need to re-select a segment, remove its name from this field.
Specifying the angle vertex and points on its sides
Specify the angle vertex point and then the points on its sides. Their coordinates appear in the corresponding fields of the Coordinates group on the Parameter Panel. If you need to specify a point again, unfix the field with its coordinates.
Setting the first side of the angle with a segment, and the second side of the angle with dots
Select the segment being the first side of the angle. For this purpose move the cursor to the segment, and when the segment is highlighted, click it with the mouse. The appearance of the cursor will change. Then specify two points that form the second side of the angle when connected. The segment and the straight line passing through the specified points form the measured angle. The position of the angle vertex is auto-calculated.
The name of the specified segment is displayed in the Object field of the Parameter Panel. If you need to re-select a segment, remove its name from this field.
