Creating/Modifying Angle Dimensions

You can create angle dimensions and perform the following kinds of modifications on such dimensions: create a new angle sector or turn an angle sector into a supplementary sector.

Before you begin:
  • By default, the Angle dimension command is not available in the Annotations toolbar. To make it available, you need to customize the toolbar. Refer to Customizing a Toolbar by Adding Commands for more information.
  • Open a drawing representation with angles to dimension.

  4. To move the dimension to a new sector, perform either of the following:


    • Right-click the angle dimension and select Angle Sector. Then either select a given angle sector or the Complementary angle sector.

    • CTRL-click the dimension line.



  5. Click anywhere to create the angle dimension.

    Tip: You can edit the angle sector of an existing angle dimension, by right-clicking the angle dimension and selecting the Dimension_name object > Angle Sector command from the contextual menu.
