To set a simple angular dimension, follow these steps.
1.Invoke the Angular Dimension 
command.
2.Set the angle sides. To do this, specify rectilinear objects or points in the graphic area that can be joined to create angle sides (see section Angle sides configuration).
The graphic area will display the angle vertex and dimension phantom.
|
If a document only contains one side of the dimensioned angle and the other side must be a vertical or horizontal line, use the Select Constructive Line button to set the angle’s second side. Details... |
3.Select dimension type using the Type group of buttons:
Minimum angle — dimensioning the acute angle,
Maximum Angle — dimensioning the obtuse angle,
Angle larger than 180 degrees — dimensioning an angle greater than 180 degrees.
4.Select how dimension’s extension lines are to be drawn using the Leader lines group of buttons:
Not from center,
From center.
5.Edit the dimension text, if required. To start working with the dimension text, press any alphanumeric key. See section on editing the dimension label...
6.Set the number of decimal places in the dimension text. Details...
7.Set a dimension tolerance. Details...
8.Set up additional dimension parameters, if required: dimension text placement option, arrow display parameters, etc. Details...
9.Set the point defining the dimensional line location.
•If you select automatic, fixed or manual placement of the dimension text, the specified point also defines the text position (see Fig. a). After this point is specified, dimension creation is automatically completed.
•If you select to place dimension text on the landing, the specified point defines dimensional line location and start of the leader. In this case, you need to specify one more point – a starting point of the landing (see Fig. b). After this point is specified, dimension creation is automatically completed.
10.To complete operation of the command, click Finish 
.
