Hi All,

1. In SpaceClaim, how do i make the angle display on the sketch similar to what is shown for linear dimensions?

2. How do I  change the reference where the angle is measured from? For example the angle shown below is 116 degrees between two lines but i want it to show it between the vertical line and the segment.

Regards,

Sam

Sam, You can use the Dimension tool in the Detail Tab and just click on those 2 lines:

I did it before but it won't do that.The reason it didn't work because i was holding the control button to select the two lines.

Thanks Sandeep!

Hi Sandeep,

Is there a way to tell it to start this linear pattern at bottom vertex by clicking on the bottom vertex because i dont to use the pitch option on left side?

Thanks,

Sam

Sam, I think the create pattern tool only offers the pitch options and the directions.

If you want to have them exactly match, measure the length from top to bottom and use the move tool. Below the length, I had was 50.83.So, I enter a total length of 152.49 and a count of 4. This way it aligns up perfectly.

Hi Sam,

The answer to your first question in your first post is to click on the Cartesian Dimensions button in the Options - Sketch window while you are in the middle of a sketch.
