Im having some trouble showing an appropriate angular dimension in my drawing (see attached). I modeled a bend with a radius of 0.04" at 110 degrees. When I try and retreive these model dimensions in my drawing, I get 64 degrees (or 116 depending on where I place the dimension). I can not manually create the dimension in my drawing because I can not select two components to create the angular dimension. Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.

Create a sketch in that view. Then project edges needed & also create geometry perp.to the angle and dimension from there

I don't really understand what you're getting at. Create a new sketch within my part or within the .idw? If within my part, are you saying create a whole new feature and try and dimension off of that?

Don't think I'm permitted to. Proprietary/security reasons...

Seems like you could create a dummy mock-up file the exhibits the same behavior as your proprietary file.

You could create the sketch in the ipt or idw (in idw click on the red view boundary and hit s on the keyboard). Project Geometry as needed RMB Done. Sketch as needed.

I think I figured it out...After I created the new sketch in my part I had to go back into the model tree within my drawing and click Get Sketch. This projected my new sketch in the drawing and I was able to dimension from there. Then I just made the skecth invisible. Thanks for the help.
