What is the primary risk when dimensioning angles by clicking outside the edge after selecting two edges?
- The dimension will be placed at an incorrect location.
- The dimension will not be created.
- The inner angle will be set instead of the outer angle.
- The outer angle will be inadvertently set. (correct)
When using the 'a' shortcut for angle dimensioning, what action confirms the selection of the two points?
When using the 'a' shortcut for angle dimensioning, what action confirms the selection of the two points?
- Pressing the space bar
- Left-clicking on the dimension placement location.
- Pressing the 'Enter' key
- Right-clicking (correct)
What is the function of pressing 'A' during angle dimensioning, and why is it useful?
What is the function of pressing 'A' during angle dimensioning, and why is it useful?
- It aligns the dimension text with the selected edge; useful for readability.
- It doubles the dimension value; useful for scaling drawings.
- It switches to alternate units; useful for displaying in radians instead of degrees.
- It fixes the dimension position to ensure the inner angle is set; useful for preventing incorrect placement. (correct)

Study Notes
Angle Dimensioning Tips
- Use "Add Dimension Angle" or the "a" shortcut to insert an angular dimension.
- Select two edges, confirm with a right-click, and place the dimension on a suggested point.
- Clicking outside the edge could inadvertently set the outer angle.
- Use the "a" shortcut to dimension and select two points, confirming with a right-click, to avoid setting the outer angle.
- Press "A" to fix the dimension position and ensure the inner angle is set.
- With the "A" shortcut, the cursor's position relative to the line doesn't matter; the dimension will always be placed inside.
- Inclination can be displayed differently using the "a" shortcut and the "Dollar" option for slope ratio.
- For gradient display, move the cursor to the line, select "Dollar," and the gradient will be displayed.
- Use the "S" option for inclination with an arrow.
- Move the cursor to the line, select "s" for inclination, and set the arrow.
- "Bemaßung" is specified in degrees but can be changed to percentage via right click.
- These angle dimensioning tips aim to provide support for everyday use.
