Hi All
I have created an angle measure and have saved it as a feature. This angle measurement measures the angle between two datum planes. One of the datum planes is fixed; the other is part of an arm which rotates around an axis. I have run a sensitivity analysis of the arm as it travels through its motion and outputted the angle dimension as the arm moves. I was expecting the arm to go from a +40 degrees to a negative 20 degrees but unfortunatly, the angle dimension does not go negative. It does indeed start at +40 degrees, then reduces to zero, then returns back to +20, when I know the dim should read -20.
Does any one know how to use the measure feature to calculate an angle which can be a positive and a negative??<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Thanks for reading my question.
