Is there a way to input the value of the angle directly as you are creating line

 apart from the snapping options , is there a way to input the value of the angle directly as you are creating lines , like that in autocad without having to press escape and revising the value .

if you Uncheck Chain , then it could be done, in a way...You'll be able to type the angle value when creating the line.

Constantin,

You are selecting an end point of the line and then changing the angle.  I think the original poster wanted the ability to type the angle in and have it hold that angle as he draws the line, wall or what ever.  I started and Idea on allowing the user to tab to the temporary dimensions in cases like this where picking and end point too soon isn't the easiest option.

this is the problem that i am facing . Doing this takes too much time while creating multiple lines . I guess there is no option of tabbing to the temporary dimensions

Are you sketching at consistent angles relative to the view? You can toggle on the Workplane and rotate the grid to that angle so sketching will allow for sketching at that angle easier as well as snapping to the grid spacing intersections.
