Dimensioning small angles

Zoom as close as possible to the two lines in which u want to create angular dimension and try to place the dimension in between them. I hope it will work
 
You will have to set the config,pro option minimum_angle_dimension to the smallest angle you wish to dimension, then you will be able to zoom in and dimension it. For example:


minimum_angle_dimension .5


will let you dimension to one-half degree.
 
burnsp has provided a good workaround, but can result in failure of other features, champhers, or rounds, specifically. modify your min_ang_dim option to fix it properly.
 
No problems if done within sketcher but the min_ang_dim is probably the best overall solution. Although, sometimes drawing thelarger anglecan beeasier -fewer issues with automatic constraints.
