relz Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have a drawing of a factory, with different equipment foundations laid out. I'm trying to do a type of surveying, get a distance and angle measurement from a specific set point in the drawing. So far i've only been able to use the Aligned Dimension function to show the distance between the set point and edge of a foundation (for example.) How can I show the angle as well on the same dimension line. Any help would be REALLY appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCAD Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Go to your help menu and look up surveyor units. You can also search this site for that term. That is probably what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 On all the construction drawings that I have seen, a foundation is dimensioned from two grid lines, i.e. with two perpendicular dimensions. I have never seen it dimensioned with an angle (and I don't think you would like Surveyor angles if you have never used them before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Or if you are trying to work out some setting-out bearings and distances, then perhaps this thread should be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
