Edit Bar controls: Apply angle from horizontal axis, Small angle
This tool is used to apply a fixed angle between two lines.
Apply angle from horizontal axis - If this option is switched on only one line needs to be identified as the first line is assumed to be the horizontal axis.
Small angle - If this option is switched on the smaller of the two possible angles is used.
To use the tool, depending on the edit bar options, identify either a single line or a pair of lines followed by the sector between the lines to define the angle. This will bring up the Fixed Value form:
At this point, you can either enter a numeric value or a variable, such as =ANG, in which case the Variable Properties form will be opened:
Here, you can enter a suitable Prompt and a value or an Expression.
Once the dimension has been added, the angle between the lines cannot be altered by the Constraint Manager.
This screenshot shows an example where Small angle is switched on:
The same example is shown here where Small angle is switched off:
