Morning all,

Just doing a simple box section drawing and hit an issue with the angle dimension. My box section has rads on, so when I go to create a dim for the cut line (shown on the attached) because the edge of the box is lower down, it throws up an error saying curves must be planar. So I've had to dimension like that shown. Trouble is you wouldn't dimension an angle like this. Is there a way round this?

Hello ug

Can you clarify a little more on what you are trying to put an angular dimension on?

Hi,

I've circled the bit I'm looking at. So the 90 deg angle is touching the line of the box sort
of below the rad, whereas the 135, I've had to make it touch the top of the rad (where the rad comes onto the top face) Really I'd want the other part touching the edge where the 90 deg touches.

Sorry about the waffle, I know what I'm going on about :-)
