Creating an Angular Dimension Using [3-Point Angular Dimension]

One method for adding angular dimensions to geometry in CAXA Draft is using the [Three-point Angle].

This section explains how to create an angular dimension using this method.

The [Three-point Angle] dimension allows you to define an angle by clicking any three points.

These points can be placed regardless of whether geometry exists—the angle is calculated purely from the selected points.

Example: Closed Shape

If you select the vertex points in the order shown below, the dimension will be displayed between points (2) and (3).

Example: Open Shape
