Create an Angular Dimension with an Object and a Vector

1.       In the Top Border Bar, choose Menu -> Insert -> Dimension -> Angular.

-          Note: This function becomes important when there is no nearby linear object in the part to select. It allows the user to establish a vector and origin point.

2.       In the Angular Dimension window, in Selection Mode, choose Vectors and Objects.

3.       Choose an existing line as the Select First Object.

4.       Choose an existing point for Select Second Object (this will be the vector origin).

5.       From the vectors that appear, select the one corresponding to your desired axis.

6.       Drag your newly created dimension to the desired location and click to place.

7.       Click Close.
