titleThree Points Angle
The Three Points Angle command measures

Measures an angle defined by two segments with a common point. The second point you select will be the vertex of the angle.

(See also Working with Dimensions.)

Once the markup label is displayed, you can also determine the reflex angle by using the Flip Axis command on the Markup context menu

: Right-click the label and select Flip Axis from

.

See Working with Angular Measurements for information on using this command and the context menu.

Info
titleNote

The Flip Axis command works differently on a three points angle and a two points draft angle.

  • On a three points angle, the Flip Axis command measures the angle in the opposite direction.
  • On a two points draft angle, the Flip Axis command flips the direction of the X-, Y-, or Z-axis segment used to form the angle.

titleTwo Edge Angle

The Two Edge Angle command measures an angle defined by two edges on the model. The two edges picked must be co-planar

. (See also Working with Dimensions.)

.

See Working with Angular Measurements for information on using this command and the context menu.

Expand
titleTwo Surfaces Angle

The Two Surfaces Angle command measures an angle defined by two surfaces on the model. The two surfaces picked must be 

  • both planar non-parallel surfaces,
  • one cylindrical and one planar surface.

See Working with Angular Measurements for information on using this command and the context menu.

titleSurface Point to Point Angle

The Surface Point to Point Angle command measures an angle defined by the line between a point and a surface point and the normal vector of the surface.

(

Every surface has a normal, that is, a vector perpendicular to the surface.

titleTwo Points Draft Angle

The Two Points Draft Angle command measures an angle defined by a line between two selected points and the X-, Y-, or Z-axis

. (See also Working with Dimensions

)

Once the markup label is displayed, you can use the Flip Axis command on the Markup context menu to change the direction of the X-, Y-, or Z-axis segment used to form the angle. Right-click the label and select Flip Axis from the context menu.
