Quick Reference

To create an angular dimension

1. Click Dimension menu Angular.At the Command prompt, enter dimangular.
2. Use one of the following methods:
   • To dimension a circle, select the circle at the first endpoint of the angle and then specify the second endpoint of the angle.
   • To dimension any other object, select the first line, and then select the second line.
3. Enter options as needed:
   • To edit the dimension text content, enter t (Text) or m (multiline text). Editing within or overwriting the brackets (<>) changes or removes the calculated dimension value. Adding text before or after the brackets appends text before or after the dimension value.
   • To edit the dimension text angle, enter a (Angle).
   • To confine the dimension to a quadrant, enter q (Quadrant) and specify the quadrant to measure.
4. Specify the dimension line arc location.
