DcAngular

Constrains the angle between two lines or straight polyline segments; the total angle of an arc or an arc polyline segment; or the angle between three points on entities.

This command is equivalent to the Angular option of the DIMCONSTRAINT command.

Accessing the Command

command bar:  dcangular

menu bar:  Parametric | 2D Constraints | Angular

toolbar:  2D Constraints |

: dcangular

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select first line or arc or [3Point] <3Point>: (Select a line or straight polyline segment; or an arc or arc polyline segment; or press Enter to select the 3Point option.)

If a line or straight polyline segment is selected:

Select second line: Select a line or straight polyline segment.

Specify dimension line location: (Select a point to position the dimension line.)

Dimension text <xx.xx>: (Type a value or press Enter to accept the current value.)

If an arc or arc polyline segment is selected:

Specify dimension line location: (Select a point to position the dimension line.)

Dimension text <xx.xx>: (Type the dimension text or press Enter to accept the current dimension text.)
