Make angular dimensions in feature sketches stop flipping erroneously to the incorrect quadrant

Make angular dimensions in feature sketches stop flipping erroneously to the incorrect quadrant

Currently, in Inventor feature sketches, angle dimensions erroneously flip to other quadrants than the actual angle being dimensioned, whenever said dimension is changed. On top of that, they continue to erroneously read as their originally intended smaller supplementary value, instead of the larger supplementary value one would expect to see whenever an angular dimension is, in fact, dragged to another quadrant of the linear layout being dimensioned. See attached image file for verification and clarification. This broken code needs fixed as soon as the next minor release of Inventor.

@tstoutYZ3MS it looks related to the issue on sketch dimension solver. If possible, could you please provide the dataset to us for further investigation? We are keeping improvement on the robustness of solver, and would like to see whether it has been addressed in the latest Inventor release. Which release you are using now? Many thanks!

Got the same issue, starting to frustrate me quite a bit. Angular dimensions just wont stay where I put them. 

@Yijiang.Cai running build 153 of 2024.

See pictures with comments below. Please either add an option to lock quadrants like with a drawing or make it stop trying to predict my wishes. Even with a projected origin plane it seems to disregard any user input.

 

Created angular dimension at 25 degrees.Created angular dimension at 25 degrees.Either move position or modifying the value will 'flip' the dimension  and modify the shown value.Either move position or modifying the value will 'flip' the dimension and modify the shown value.But the best part, that 160 degree dimension still shows the original 20 degrees when modifying it again...But the best part, that 160 degree dimension still shows the original 20 degrees when modifying it again...
