Trouble with Dimension Orientation

[Anonymous]

Can anyone tell me how to get my associative angular dimensions to display 56 degrees in this case (shown in picture) instead of the 34?

Can you post your actual DWG file? Your 34.4 sure looks very similar to the 30.1 you have right next to it, and we both know neither is close to 56.

TIA

Draw it at the correct angle?

Not seeing anything wrong in your posted file here

In that same drawing. Start a new horizontal line, from say.....the mid point of that line type in @6"<56 and see where it throws the line. Then do an angular dimension on the two lines and see what it says...............

It's almost like the 34 and 56 degrees are reversed when dimensoining

Set SNAPANG command to 34
Compare your cursor angle to your angled line.
It matches.

34+56=90

56 is the reverse of 34: see the 56 angle to the left of the 34 angle. Get it?

No idea what you selected when you did the original screenshot, but facts are in the CAD file. I cannot repeat here.
