The Angular Dimension tool is in the Dims/Notes tool set (all workspaces) and the Basic palette (Spotlight and Landmark workspaces).
The Angular Dimension tool measures and dimensions angles. Dimension the angle between two object edges, between two sides of a single object, between a single object and a reference line, or between two reference lines.
This tool works with all objects with linear or planar sides, including rounded and rotated rectangles, lines, polylines, polygons, and solids. It does not, however, work with circles, ovals, or arcs. In addition, it cannot dimension between parallel lines or lines on different planes.
If the Snap to Working Plane option on the Snapping palette is enabled, the face of the object being dimensioned must be parallel to the working plane.
