Overriding Dimension leaders

Overriding Dimension leaders

Overriding Dimension leaders

(OP)
Dear All,

   I am trying to show angles of an Isometric view on drawing sheet. SW not allowing me to show included angle the way I want, instead it is showing out side angle in the way it likes.

  Though, I dont want to show the exact measured angle, I want to show some angle like dimension on my drawing sheet so that I can ovdrride the value I like. Is there a way in SW to show manual leaders for angle measurement??

 I have been trying very hard on this from my end but without break thru.It would be great help, if somebody could guide me right way of approach.

Please find attached zip file, which inclues my test model/drawing and pdf of drawing for those who have older version than SW-2007


Regards,
Pa1

RE: Overriding Dimension leaders

Maybe create a 3D sketch of the "optic" area, dimension it, insert model dims into dwg?
