Automatic Angular Dimensions

Hi,

      I am trying to create a 90° protractor in autocad and I want to dimension it every 0.2°. Is there a way I can automatically do that?

 

I have attached the dwg file.

 

Thanks,

Swami

Hi,

 

make one dim then use ARRAY command if you have fixed distance.

Thanks. But I do not have fixed distance. I have a fixed angle. Sorry I am a little new to AUTOCAD. Maybe I didn't understand or I am doing something wrong!

I tried just now and got an array of angles but they numbers do not change. When I tried to array the dimension 0.2 degrees , it just shows 0.2° everywhere and does not increase progressively.

Hi,

 

please forget my idea about ARRAY, my understanding for your need was wrong.as i understand it now i'm afraid that you have to do it manually.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Just thinking out loud....What if the text was a field designed to capture the angle of the line? You could try a copy-rotate for additional lines at the various angles. Perhaps if you had the field and the line it could even be arrayed. I tried this, exploded the array, performed a Regen and the values updated as expected
