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 Link Dimension tool.
How to use
- Select the points or edge which define your measurement.
- Press the File:TechDraw Dimension Angle3Pt.png Dimension Angle3Pt button
- A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.
Options
None.
