CREATING ANGULAR DIMENSIONS
Angular dimensions are added to a drawing by selecting Angular from the Annotation tool palette. When you select the Angular tool, you are prompted in the workspace to select objects to dimension. The dimension is placed with components scaled as specified in Drawing Setup and placed on the A-Anno-Dims [A000D] layer. You can edit the arrowhead and other features in the Properties palette of the dimension. Access the Angular command as shown in Table 11.15. Access from the command line does not apply the automatic dimension scaling and layering from Drawing Setup.
| Command prompt | DIMANGULAR |
| Tool palette | Select Angular from the Annotation palette, as shown in Figure 11.1. |
| Tip | The Angular and Radius tools of the Annotation tool palette are not AEC Dimensions; therefore the DimScale of the dimensions does not change when a switch is made from Low Detail, Medium Detail, or High Detail. |
The dimension shown in Figure 11.28 was placed using the following command sequence:
