The Angular Dimension command
will allow you to measure the angle between two lines. The lines
cannot be parallel to each other. The dimension line arc will span
the angle between the two lines. If the dimension line arc does
not intersect one or both of the lines being dimensioned, the program
will draw one or two extension lines to intersect the dimension line arc.
To draw an angular dimension:
Select the Angular
Dimension command from the Draw
menu or click on the toolbar icon.
Set a base point location or origin from which to
dimension the two lines.
Click on the start angle (line one).
- Drag the mouse to
the desired location for the dimension text and click a third point
to complete the command.
