Measure Angle

Common Functionality

Query : Measure Angle

Measures the angle and the direction of the two angular dimension lines without having to calculate it.

You are prompted for three points. The first at the root of the angle and the angular dimension lines passes through the other two points.

The Keep Dimensions function applies to angle dimensions only and allows previous dimension graphics to be retained in the 3D window. If the Keep Dimensions check box is unchecked then existing Measure Distance graphics are removed from the 3D view and are automatically removed after each new dimension is added.


When a measure is wrt world (/*):
ENU coordinates	The direction and offset fields labelled as ENU (for example: Offset E)
XYZ coordinates	The direction and offset fields labelled as XYZ
When measure in not wrt world:
ENU coordinates	The direction and offset fields labelled as UVW and direction as ENU
XYZ coordinates	The offset fields labelled as UVW and direction as XYZ

The angle is labelled in the 3D graphical view, and the Measure Angle window is populated with the angle, and the direction of the two angular dimension lines.
