This is tutorial number 129 and it covers how to insert angular dimensions within

KT of V5. To start off, open up tutorial part number 127 which is included on the

DVD. Now what we're going to do is we're going to add some angle dimensions so

to do that you can go to the toolbar over here and you can find the angle

dimension or if you go to insert, dimensioning, dimensions you can find

angle dimensions in here. So just like the linear dimensions all you have to

do is click two elements and you're able to create a angular dimension and

again if you click on it and pull it back you're able to adjust the length of

the arms to suit your needs. Now with the angle dimensions the one thing that I

really want to go over and emphasize is when you're creating them and say

you're not getting the angle you're looking for. What you have to do is right

click on it, go to dimension object, go to angle sector and then adjust the

angle sector to get the angle dimension that you're looking for. So if this is the

one that you're looking for you've got it now and you're good. So you just have

to play around with the angle sector it's just like the drawings and

dimension that we did in the assemblies, parts and sketching. You have to play

around with the angle sector to actually get the result you're looking for. So

especially in drawings you want to be telling someone that it's 30-degree

angle rather than a hundred and fifty-degree angle. That would confuse

someone if they're looking at it two different ways so I always try to put the

smallest angle in and try to show them the simplest and easiest way when I'm

trying to show drawings and show drawing dimensions. So the more simple you

keep it the easier it is to read your drawings and the less confusion there

will be. So with the angle drawing angular dimensioning just make sure that

you play around with it and get the angle sector right. It works just the same as

the linear dimensioning just again go over the angular sector and that concludes

our tutorial on angular dimensioning within KTAV5.
