180 Degree Dimension

180 Degree Dimension

180 Degree Dimension

(OP)
Dumb question of the day... How do you get a 180 degree dimension to show up?

Thanks

RE: 180 Degree Dimension

Draw it at some other degree, dimension it, and then edit the dimension to 180.

Otherwise, set your relations to collinear or coincident.

RE: 180 Degree Dimension

SW doesn't handle 180deg dims very well, especially in mating.  If you really need to have an entity separated by 180deg from something, I would create an intermediate line/plane halfway there.  That way you have two 90deg dims.
