angular dimension

(OP)
Hi,
is there a way to control the angular dimension from 0 to 360 degrees? (not to 180 deg)

RE: angular dimension

Can you give a bit more detail?
Is this an actual dimension or a mate, and is it in a model sketch or drawing?

RE: angular dimension


In either the Model or the Drawing, the angular dimension could be any one of 3 types, depending on how the dimension is dragged into position.  Pick one line, then the other, then drag the dimension to control the type.

1) Acute (less than 90)
2) Obtuse (between 90 and 180)
3) Reflex (between 180 and 360)

Txh for the replay.

So, I need to read into design table (excel) parametres for a mate - of course in assembly. Best would be to get value 0-360 deg, but understand that SW can do it 0-180 and further 180-0...

RE: angular dimension

(OP)
ok, you're right. It is true that I was thinking about limit matebut it works correctly. I do not know why sometimes reverses the sign and does not accept values over 180. Exactly what I need it is a mate with the limit angle of +-220 deg.
