TechDraw 3PtAngleDimension/en

Description
The Dimension Angle3Pt tool adds a angular dimension to a View. The dimension may be specified by selecting three Vertices on a View. Note that the second of the three Vertices is the apex of the angle. The Angle3Pt will initially be the projected angle (ie as shown on the drawing), but this may be changed to the actual 3D angle using the tool.



Usage

 * 1) Select the points or edge which define your measurement.
 * 2) Press the  button
 * 3) A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.
 * 4) If needed, add tolerances as described in this page.

To change the dimension properties either double-clicking onto it in the drawing or double-click on the dimension object in the model tree. This will open the dimension dialog.

Limitations
Dimension objects are vulnerable to "topological naming" issues. See the information in the TechDraw Dimension Length tool for more information.
