interpreting Ang Dimensions
(OP)
Has anybody had the issues of adding an angular dimension to a sketch, then setting it to >180 deg, only to find the SW "interprets" what you want and gives you the angle you want in the wrong quadrant?






RE: interpreting Ang Dimensions
Workarounds are;
Set angle to driven, drag end point of line to approx position, reset dimension to driving and adjust to suit.
or
Draw the line in the correct position first using the "Line Properties" parameters, and then add the dimension.

Can you be more specific of the problem or show image (see FAQ559-1100) of the sketch?

So if you imagine a clock face the zero is from the centre to the 3, so;
lines from centre to 3 and centre to 12 would be 90° apart
lines from centre to 3 and centre to 6 would be 270° apart

I hope that makes sense, I don't think I'm explaining it very well.
