In the sketch drawing, the constraint of equal angle is missing

[gotonewpointW8ACA]

CAD drawings have many constraint operations, such as parallel, vertical, horizontal, etc., but they lack an equal angle constraint.
In many sketching processes, the case where the angle size is not determined, but the angles of several corners are determined to be equal are used.
For related references, please see "How to constrain two equal angles in a CAD drawing? ".
Hope to add this constraint operation in future versions.

How would you envision this being implemented?  I can easily understand the usefulness of this functionality, but I can't imagine how to apply it.  When I select your proposed "Equal Angle Constraint" tool, what do I select?  Unlike the line and radius, there is no graphic entity representing the angle.  Perhaps something similar to the sketch fillet tool, which highlights possible line pairs for selection?

Hi! This is an interesting idea. It can be done implicitly to certain degree. For example, you can equate an angular dimension value to a pre-existing angular parameter.

Sam has a very good point too. How to implement such constraint can be tricky. It will requires at least 4 picks (two from from the source and two from each target). It is not much different than linking parameters.

Many thanks!
