Drawings, angles more than 180°?

@ClintBrown3D Is there any way to add angular dimension more than 180°? Similar to baseline dimensions but for angles.

I'd like to be able to dimension then next 2 of 216° and 288°. I need to set some parts up on a machine using a round table type setup on an EDM machine. I also need to set the angle the machine with cut so although I can work these out it would help if I could actually have the angles on the drawing. This is part of a 2 cavity mould and the other side is rotated 180° so it's going to be easy to get confused if I need to work this out rather than have it on the drawing.

Hi @HughesTooling 

 

Yes. Use the Angular dimension tool. Follow the tooltip prompts.

 

In the animation below, I am pressing the spacebar then selecting the intersection of the angled lines then points at either end.
