Angular dimensions opposite position

Hello to everyone!

 

I have a problem with placing the angular dimension. As u see, the angle 15 goes outside of the annotation line. I need it to be placed same as the dimension 30 degrees and to have the same orientation, so you can read it from the right side.

Any ideas?

 

Thank you a lot!

 

Nikola

My first thought would be to right click on the 30° and copy properties to the 15°, but I do not have an example to test and see if that would work.

You may need to change your dimension style:

I've tried that also, it only moves the 30 degree outside, it doesn't change the orientation of the 15 degree dimension.

I've tried all options in Style Edit. It doesn't help me.

It's a normal behavior, if I set your 15° angle to 60° or more, the text would be unreadable.

 

The only way IMO is to set the style dimension text horizontaly :

That's a very creative section line you have there. I overcame the angle text issue by setting all of the text to be horizontal, at least it all looks the same that way.

Haha, I know that it is creative, my boss wanted all those holes to be in one plane.

 

Does this mean that there is no other way to set up the dimension?

My only solution is to put it horizontal?

Just remember it's a rule in drawing :

You can't set a dimension text upside down Smiley Tongue

The rule in dimensionig is that you can read annotations from up to down and from right to left. The rule is set by the DIN and ISO standards. That is why i wanted to adjust the dimension position.
