Fusion 360 - Angular dimensions on the 2D drawings

[Anonymous]

Hi there, I would like to know what I have done incorrectly on the model as follows (https://a360.co/2BvLrB5, https://a360.co/3ghHH4X ). 

The problem is with the angular dimension of 45.02 degrees (on the 2D drawing it is marked by the yellow exclamation mark). The correct value should be exactly 45 degrees. I have checked the sketch1 on the 3D model, everything seems to be O.K., the angle on the sketch is correct. Since I have created the additional center lines on the 2D drawing in order to do the angular dimension, these lines may not be drawn accurately. Thank you in advance for your advice. Best regards, Miroslav

check on your sketch if those lines are straight lines.

@Anonymous  I  downloaded your piece And this is the angle. There are no dimensions.

Hi, @Anonymous.

Everything seems right here:

 

I used Angular Dimension, Spacebar to change to point snap, then center-point-point click.

It would be a good practice add dimensions to sketches, so you can control everything in a suitable way.

Note you can use Thread command in multiple faces at once by holding Ctrl key.

Yes, it is true. When I created the sketch I checked its dimensions and deleted them. Since I am still a beginner I need to improve lot of things. In any case thanks for your tip.

Thank you for your advice. I have used spacebar in order to achieve more accurate snap points, in this case centre points of circles which create the angle of 45 degrees. Now the angular dimension is correct on the drawing.

Cool. Do not delete your dimensions, so if your design change you can change your dimensions again. And maybe the geometries moved that's why you were getting another dimension. 🙂

Thank you, next time I will try to draw in this way. I think I need also to learn how to use constraints properly.
