dim angle as inclusive

(OP)
I have a lead-in on a hole. The lead-in is 30° from center out. I would like to show the angle as 60° inclusive. Can someone explain if this is possible.

RE: dim angle as inclusive

Hello,

If you have used the hole feature this should come over as standard.

If you have created a cut on the hole, you can create a dimension by selceting the two edges of the lead in.

RE: dim angle as inclusive

If this is a revolved cut or a sketched hole, you can use the mirror tool in sketcher to copy the angled (30°) surface across the hole axis. (Select the line-->Mirror-->Select the Centerline).

Then, convert this single line entity into a construction line (Select-->Right Click-->Toggle Construction).

You can now create the 60° dimension between the original and the mirrored entitiy.

Hope it helps :)
