The location that you specify for the dimension line arc determines the
quadrant of the dimensioned angle.
Dimension to a Quadrant
Angular dimensions can measure a specific quadrant that is formed when
dimensioning the angle between of the endpoints of a line or arc, center point
of a circle, or two vertices. As an angular dimension is being created, there are
four possible angles that can be measured. By specifying a quadrant it allows
you to ensure that the correct angle is dimensioned. When placing an angular
dimension after a quadrant has been specified, you can place the dimension
text outside of the extension lines of the dimension. The dimension line is
automatically extended.
Quick Reference
Commands
