Description
The Dimension Angle tool adds a angular dimension to a View. The dimension may be the interior angle between any two straight line edges. The angle will initially be the projected angle (ie as shown on the drawing), but this may be changed to the actual 3D angle using the Link Dimension 
tool.
How to use
- Select the points or edge which define your measurement.
- Press the
Dimension Angle button - A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.
Options
None.
Properties
- DATAX: Horizontal position of the dimension text relative to the View.
- DATAY: Vertical position of the dimension text relative to the View.
- DATAFormatSpec: Allows additional text to be added to the dimension text. Dimension value will replace %.2f (or other valid printf format specifier).
- DATAType: Length,radius,diameter, etc. Not normally manipulated by the end user.
- DATAMeasureType: "True" - based on 3D geometry or "Projected" - based on the drawing. Not normally manipulated directly by the end user.
- DATAArbitrary: "True" - ignore actual value and display FormatSpec as value. "False" - use actual value.
- VIEWFont: The name of the font to use for the dimension text.
- VIEWFontsize: Dimension text size in mm.
- VIEWLineWidth: Dimension line weight.
- VIEWColor: Color for lines and text.
Scripting
Angle dimensions can be added to Pages using Python.
dim1 = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject('TechDraw::DrawViewDimension','Dimension')
dim1.Type = "Angle"
dim1.References2D=[(view1, 'Edge1')]
rc = page.addView(dim1)
