You can control the direction in which the angular coordinate dimension is measured with the Counterclockwise button
on the Dimension command bar.
-
You can add jogs when placing angular coordinate dimensions when the Enable automatic jogging option is selected on the Lines and Coordinate tab of the Dimension Style or Dimension Properties dialog box.

You can remove all of the jogs on an existing angular coordinate dimension by first selecting the dimension, and then clearing the Jog button
