How Do You Designate an Angle in the Draw Program

How can I specify the angle between the center of the two holes and the edge of the component?  See attached photos.

 

Thanks

Hmm, I'm not sure of another way this might be done, but I was able to do it via a workaround. Here's what I did.

 

  1. Find the actual angle back in the Model workspace (in the sketch or whatever)
  2. Back in the Drawing workspace, add center marks to each of the circles 
  3. Rotate the circles by the correct angle found earlier (which also rotates the center marks)
  4. Make an angular dimension between the center mark line and the edge (see photo below)

It's not great because I don't think angled center marks are a thing. Although, you can delete the center marks after creating the angular dimension - you'll just have a warning next to that dimension.

Thanks. After thinking about it, I think it makes more sense for me to specify the dimensions of the circles centers relative to the bodies edges instead of specifying the angle. I think Autodesk should consider making the angle measure available.
