Swapping sides of the angle dimension

espenrs — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 22:18:35 GMT

In short it would look more appealing if the angle dimension on the right would mirror the one on the left - showing a 45 degree angle from the left and not a 135 degree angle from the right. Any way to make this happen?

Take the right side angle dimension from the angled line to the center line on the left.

I've tried what you describe and it just flips over to 135 degrees from the bottom. That or I have no idea what you say I should do.

What lines are you selecting for the dimension?

Line command defaults to horizontal east with the automatic dimension, you don’t have a horizontal centre line so Fusion creates it, but you can ignore it and place your own.

Then when placing your dimension, you have the option move the mouse and the dimension position will follow.

Select top line to dimension from, place the dimension in the small side, make one equal to the other. Lots of options, 2 identical dimensions would not be required.

Might help....

I think I was stuck trying to move the dimension after creation. When I realized I had to move it over to the other side during the creation it worked.
