Back to SW, trying to create angular dim in part

[Bhaveshn]

Hello, I am back to SW after 5 years, switching from SE ST3. Since it has been long, I need to get myself oriented to UI.

my first Q

in part, I'm trying to create anglular sketch dim. By clicking only innclined line, linear dim starts by default, how can I convert to angular?

Thanks
Bhavesh

At least two entities need to be selected to define the angle.
Line and point
Two non-parallel lines
3 points

Yeah, select the first line. It defaults to assigning a dim equal to the length of that line, diameter, etc. for whatever shape the line takes. Hover over the second entity and when it becomes highlighted, click. Done.
