Dimensioning Angles
Dimensioning Angles
(OP)
I am using SW2003 and the ANSI standard. Often when dimensioning angles I would like to cross the extension lines. I can not for the life of me figure out how. I would like to think this would be standard and that I would not have to "fudge" it. Any ideas?

RE: Dimensioning Angles
I usually leave the extension lines alone and either insert a virtual sharp or sketch line on the view.

This method also works well when dimensioning arc sectors.

Select both edges, then click the sketch point tool. The virtual sharp is created and you can dimension to that point.
Look in the system or document options to choose how the virtual sharp is displayed.
