Creating Angular Running Dimensions

You can create angular running dimensions for an arc or circle in a drawing or sketch.

In this example, you create angular running dimensions in a drawing.

To create angular running dimensions:

  1. Open install_dir\samples\whatsnew\drawings\angular_running_dimension\flange.slddrw.

    A flange appears.

  2. Save the flange model as my_flange.slddrw.
  3. Close install_dir\samples\whatsnew\drawings\angular_running_dimension\flange.slddrw.
  4. Click Angular Running Dimension tool_angular_dimension.png (Dimensions/Relations toolbar) or Tools > Dimensions > Angular Running Dimension.
  5. In the graphics area, select the center mark of the flange, from which all others will be measured, to be the base (the zero-degree dimension), and click again to place the dimension outside the model.
