Unable to set right value for Dim Angular

Hi, is there any solution that I can set up the measurement of Dimension angular (in properties) as the same as the one shown in the project?

If you mean that you want to be able to show the 270° angle, like this:

you can do that by not just selecting the lines, but using the specify-the-vertex option:

 

DIMANGULAR
Select arc, circle, line, or <specify vertex>:  {Enter to accept specify-vertex option}
Specify angle vertex: {pick at intersection or apparent intersection}
Specify first angle endpoint:  {pick on rightward line}
Specify second angle endpoint:  {pick on downward line}
Specify dimension arc line location or [Mtext/Text/Angle/Quadrant]:  {the usual}
Dimension text = 270

@tranhang13798 ,

 

To have an Angular dimension show as 270 on the Properties, make your Directional Control (Base Angle) West.

[Note: The default is East] - this will show the measurement exactly as on the dimension.

Thank you for your brilliant solution..... It finally works. Just for further concerns, what are the function of Direction control? if I changed so any changes in value of dimensions I have done before?

It doesn't affect the dimensions but it does control the way surveyor's work. Survey use clockwise to measure angle, Autocad uses counter-clockwise for default.

I gonna use this solution in an alignment drawing which is already coordinated with survey coordination. just wanna make sure again how much will make hard for surveyor in future?

This is a question you should discuss with the surveyors.

 

Remember you can reference the file and not affect the original.
