Is there a quick way to measure a draft angle on PowerMill 2017. We have PowerShape and when I select the 'open the calculator' icon I have the 'measure draft angle' then can quicky hover over a angle and it will show me the angle related to my work plane. This would be very handy if this option is available on PowerMill 2017. I have attached a image to show the icon. Thanks

Kinda hard to tell but it looks as it may be a compound angle where the other surfaces are not. Can you verify that?
the red surfaces are just drafted vertical surfaces with no comound shape. I checked them with another software and they are .50 degree. how do i get it to check .50 degree in powermill?
Can you upload the project?
The reason why some of your surfaces don't measure as .5 degrees is that they are not parallel with your world workplane but the surfaces that are parallel they do measure as .500 degrees.
You have to create a workplane that is parallel with the surfaces that you want to measure and then will show up as the desired draft angle.
