Creates an angular dimension by selecting an entity or specifying the vertex and both sides of the angle. The dimension is based on the current dimension style. Options allow you to specify the angle and contents of the dimension text.
Method
This command has 2 methods to begin creating an angular dimension:
Select line, arc, or circle
Press ENTER to specify angle
Options within the command
Select line, arc or circle
Allows you to begin creating an angular dimension by selecting a line, arc, or circle to dimension.
If you selected a line or line segment the following option appear:
Other line for angular dimension
Allows you to specify another line segment.
If you selected a circle the following option appear:
Other side of angle
Allows you to specify a point to define one side of the angle. The point where you first selected the circle defines the other side of the angle.
Select circle
Other side of circle
Vertex of angle
Location of dimension arc
Location of dimension arc
Specifies the location of the dimension arc.
First side of angle
Other side of angle
Vertex of angle
Location of dimension arc
Press ENTER to specify angle
Allows you to begin creating an angular dimension by specifying the vertex and the sides of the angle.
Vertex of angle
Allows you to specify the vertex of angle.
First side of angle
Specifies a point to define one side of the angle.
Other side of angle
Specifies a point to define the other side of the angle.
First side of angle
Location of dimension arc
Other side of angle
Vertex of angle
Angle
Specifies the angle of the dimension text. A value of 0 aligns the dimension text with the dimension line. Any other value rotates the dimension text relative to the x-axis of the current UCS.
Text
Allows you to enter text to override the default dimension text which includes the measured length of the dimension. You can use two angle brackets <> to display the measured length of the dimension in addition to other text.
