Summary
Measures the angle between selected objects or 3 points. Objects that can be
selected include arcs, circles, and lines, among others.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select
arc, circle, line, or <specify vertex>: Select an arc, circle, or line, or press
Enter to create the angular dimension by specifying three points
After you define the angle to dimension, the following prompt is displayed:
Specify
dimension arc line location or [Mtext/Text/Angle/Quadrant]:
Arc Selection Uses points on the selected arc as the defining points for a
three-point angular dimension. The center of the arc is the angle vertex. The
arc endpoints become the origin points of the extension lines.
The dimension line is drawn as an arc between the extension lines. The
extension lines are drawn from the angle endpoints to the intersection of the
dimension line.
Circle Selection Uses the selection point (1) as the origin of the first extension
line. The center of the circle is the angle vertex.
The second angle endpoint is the origin of the second extension line and does
not have to lie on the circle.
