- 3 PTS lets you dimension the angle between two points and
- a vertex that you specify.
-
- Choose an option from the Position Menu to select the
- vertex of the angle you want to dimension.
-
- The vertex and the endpoints do not have to lie in
- the same plane.
-
- Indicate the first and second endpoints of the angle to
- dimension using options from the Position Menu.
-
- The three points that you select define two intersecting
- reference lines and four angles for dimensioning. To make
- it easier to identify the angle you want to dimension,
- CADKEY draws temporary dashed that extend to the limits
- of the screen along the reference lines.
-
- Cursor select a position somewhere inside the angle you
- want to dimension.
-
- CADKEY prompts you to indicate which angle you want to
- measure, INNER or OUTER. If you choose INNER, CADKEY
- dimensions the inner angle; if you choose OUTER, CADKEY
- dimensions the outer angle.
-
- Indicate the dimension text position using an option from
- the Position Menu.
-
- CADKEY draws the dimension, arrows, and leader lines
- according to the current settings in DETAIL, SET. If you
- make a mistake, choose UNDO in the Break Area or press
- (Alt)-(I). CADKEY deletes the dimension and leader lines
- and you can indicate another dimension text position.
-
- CADKEY displays temporary lines for 3PTS. When you redraw,
- the temporary lines disappear, but the dimension remains.
