DcAngular

  • Updated

Constrains the angle between two lines or straight polyline segments; also constrains the angle of an arc or polyline arc. (This command is equivalent to the Angular option of the DIMCONSTRAINT command.)

 

Accessing the Command

command bar: dcangular
menu bar: Parametric | 2D Constraints | Angular
ribbon: Parametric | 2D Constraints | Angular
toolbar: 2D Constraints | : dcangular

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select first line or arc or [3Point] <3Point>: (Select a line or straight polyline segment, or an arc or polyline arc segment, or else press Enter to select the 3Point option)

The angle of the entity is now constrained, although the entity can still be moved, rotated, and so on.

 

Command Options

Option

Description

Select first line

When you select a line or straight polyline segment, prompts you:

  1. Select second line - (select another line or straight polyline segment)

  2. Specify dimension line location - (pick a point to position the dimension line)

  3. Dimension text <xx.xx> - (type a value, or elkse press Enter to accept the current value)

Select arc

When you select an arc or a polyline arc segment, prompts you

  1. Specify dimension line location - (select a point to position the dimension line)

  2. Dimension text <xx.xx>- (type the dimension text, or else press Enter to accept the current dimension text)

3Point

Creates an angular constraint between three valid constraint points. Prompts you:

  1. Specify angle vertex - (pick a point)

  2. Specify first angle constraint point - (pick a point)

  3. Specify second angle constraint point - (pick a point)

The abbreviation for this option is 3P.
