Measuring Angles

|

327

4

Click Close or click Inquire Again to display another angle, or click the
Copy button to copy the currently displayed angle to the Clipboard.

You can measure the angle associated with a specific entity in the drawing.
All entities except dimensions have at least one associated angle. Lines,
polyline segments, and polygon sides have two associated angles—one for
each endpoint. AutoSketch displays the angle associated with the endpoint
closest to where you click on the entity.

Arcs have two associated angles—one for each endpoint. When you make an
inquiry about an arc, AutoSketch displays the angle associated with the end-
point closest to where you click on the arc.

Symbols have angles associated with each component entity. The exact num-
ber of angles associated with a symbol varies with the individual symbol.
