    I am not i understand you correctly or not.

     

    If you want to show the dimension overthere, i think the available options is u can use constuction lines.

     

    If you need to create the  holes as per the dimension? go to sketch and use circular pattern.

    • Create  Center points for the circles by using sketch option.
    •  Exit sketch
    •  Then select the dimension tool pick the three center points defined first

     

    see attached for more clear ....

    Hopes this will help u ....

     

    Accept as solution, If u foud so....

    How much Inventor training and/or experience do you have?  Can you post a screen shot of the dimension as it looks now?  I don't know what part of the dimension appearance is causing you a problem, so no idea how to advise you.

    well, it's even easier than that: no need to create a sketch and center points. you can snap to the centers of the holes directly. by the way ; this works in model sketches also.

     

    cheers

    Are you asking how to create this as a 'sketch'?  If so, you'll need to utilize construction lines to dimension the angle.
