Dimensioning angles

1. Do any of the following:

• On the Dimensions toolbar, click Associative Dimension .

• On the Dimensions menu, click Two Objects.

2. Click consecutively the two lines that form the angle that you want to dimension.

A sample image of the dimension line appears that follows the movement of the pointer.

3. (Optional) To make the dimension-line text centered, ensure that Centered Text is pressed in.
4. Click where you want the dimension line to be.

Notes

• If two nonparallel lines do not intersect on the screen, the would-be angle between them is detected and dimensioned. For example, to dimension the angle that defines a chamfer, click the two lines neighboring the chamfer line.
• In the graphical area, to show the existing dimensions, right-click in a blank space, and then check Show Dimensions on the context menu.
• To set general dimension options, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Dimensions tab.
