finding degrees of two lines

[leviathin79]

ultra newbie here,

so i started up autocad for the first time today, i have been playing with it for a couple of hrs now and i cant figure out how to find out what the degrees are between two lines that i have drawn.

 

example draw a 2" line from start point 2,2 @ 27degrees - then draw another 2" line from start point 2,2 @ 53 degrees

 

now what i would like is for autocad to tell me what the degrees are between those two line i.e. 26 degrees yes i can go and do the math my self but i have a large diagram that i imported and i was wondering if there was a feature that does this for you. if anyone can help that would be awesome, or if you could point me in the right direction for a tutorial that will explain how to do this that would be cool, i have been searching google high and low but i am not sure if i am asking the question right. thanks for any help

OOTB Acad doesn't have a direct way to do an inquiry to measure angles between lines (unless they added it since 2008), but you can use the Dimangular command to find the angle; just escape before placing the dimension.

Here's another option

Use the angular dimension. It's under the dimension pull down menu.

Dimension menu, angular.

 

I keep the dimension tool bar, always shown, to the right of my screen (vertically).
