      I can't remember how to indicate degrees of angle in a drawing. I've done it before, but just can't pull the procedure out of my tired brain....... I've spent the better part of an hour clicking around with the protractor....... I do remember it is a very easy step..... BUT,

      Thanks

        Its a 3 click process. Start point, one side of angle, next side of angle.

        Click on the base of the angle. Then click on a point that you want to make an angle against, then rotrate the protractor and type in the degree you want to have. It should make a construction line at that degree. Hope that makes any sense,

            You Guys are Great,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, But I can do that. What it "be" that I'm asking is how do you "identify" the angle's degrees with a "leader line" and "call out" like when you dimension...

            What I do now is use the "protractor" to determine the angle of the two lines as shown in the window at the lower right side of the drawing, then use the "text" tool to make a "leader line" and type in the angle's degree..... boring...!

            TurboCad had a dimension tool for angles..... And, NO, I don't want to revert back to TC,,,, at least not for Apple OSX, (what a waste of my money). I used TC for Win since mid 90's, but now that I'm a "Mac Kinda Guy", don't go there, I really like this SU stuff and having fun with it.

            So, if the way I'm doing it is OK, then that is the way I'll do it.......

            Again thank you for the input.....

              oh gotcha, good question. I don't know and due to some technical issues I can't test it currently to try and figure it out. Anyone else?

                Hi, you have to use a script named Dim_Angle.rb who does that.

                  Alsatic,

                  Thanks for the direction to the rudy.... It works OK for what I do. It's not much different than doing it the "manual" way using the protractor and text tools. This is because, if I'm doing it correctly, you have to do three clicks counterclockwise to get the angle, then select it, explode it, and then clean up the line and arch it added to the drawing.

                  Anyway, thanks to all of you for the input.... (James and Chris) I'm set now,
