Angular Coordinate Dimension command


The Angular Coordinate Dimension command places a dimension that measures the angle between a center point, an axis, and a measurement point. The computed value is the angle between the axis and a line from the measurement point to the center point. All dimensions in the group use the same center point and axis.

Example:

Angular coordinate dimension orientation
