The Dimension Angle tool adds a angular dimension to a View. The dimension may be the interior angle between any two straight line edges. The angle will initially be the projected angle (ie as shown on the drawing), but this may be changed to the actual 3D angle using the {{Button|[[Image:TechDraw_Dimension_Link.svg|16px]] [[TechDraw_Dimension_Link|Link Dimension]]}} tool.

Description

The TechDraw AngleDimension tool adds an angular dimension to a View. The dimension shows the interior angle between two straight edges.

Measuring the angle between two straight edges

Usage

  1. Select two straight edges. The geometry may be selected in the 3D view or in the drawing.
  2. If you have selected geometry in the 3D view: add the correct TechDraw View to the selection by selecting it in the Tree view.
  3. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Insert Angle Dimension button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Dimensions → Insert Angle Dimension option from the menu.
  4. A dimension is added to the View.
  5. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.
  6. If needed, add tolerances as described on this page.

Display 3D measurement

See TechDraw LengthDimension.

Change properties

To change the properties of a dimension object either double-click it in the drawing or in the Tree view. This will open the Dimension dialog.

Limitations

Dimension objects are vulnerable to the "topological naming problem". See TechDraw LengthDimension.

Notes

See TechDraw LengthDimension.

Properties

See TechDraw LengthDimension.
