Hi,
My experience with AutoCAD is about less than an hour as of now. I'm following a tutorial from Autodesk. After showing us the basics of laying out dimensions, its asks to replicate this:
I can do all that but I can't figure out how to display both length and angle of a slanted line as they did (I highlighted them in yellow circles). aligned linear dimension only gives me the length.
Hi,
>> I can't figure out how to display both length and angle of a slanted line as they did <<
i think that you're asking about Alternate units ( Not angle ) . select your dim line then Ctrl+1 and put and select proper values that meet your needs. ( see below image )

@Anonymousschrieb:... I can't figure out how to display both length and angle of a slanted line as they did (I highlighted them in yellow circles).
In this drawing example they tricked with fields. It's not yet a thema for beginners/newbies.
If you are interested in this, I will show you a screencast in some minutes how to do it.
[EDIT]
Here it is:
Oops: In the screencast I forgot the ° symbol for the angle dimension. If You want to add this, edit the field, pick "Additional format" and add a Suffix "°" (without the "").

@tasdiq.ameemschrieb:Is the screencast a built-in feature in autoCAD or did you use another software?
It is not a built-in feature, but I guess it is develeoped by Autodesk.
