Creating Angular Dimension Larger than 180 deg

July 2, 2009 by Edwin Prakoso 12 Comments

Can we create angular dimension larger than 180 degrees in AutoCAD?

dim

Well if you see the recorded animation below, you can’t do that by selecting lines, obviously.

But you can create it in AutoCAD using dimangular by selecting line’s vertex.

From your AutoCAD ribbon (or toolbar) activate the tool. OR type DIMANGULAR then [enter], you will see on the command line these options:

Select arc, circle, line, or <specify vertex>:

Press [enter] to specify vertex. Now, select the vertexes.

You need to use some option, but yes, you can do it!
