Modify Angles

Using the "Modify (Angle)" function, you can change all settings for an angular dimension. In the upper area of the dialog box you have the same configuration options as in the dialog box for dimension styles. This allows you to assign a different setting to an individual angle than the one defined in the dimension style. In the topmost drop-down list you can also directly select a different dimension style.

In the lower area of the dialog box there are settings that are only created when the angle is generated. Therefore, they are not related to the dimension style. The following settings can be changed there:

Layer: This displays the layer to which the angle or angles belong. By changing the layer, the selected angles are assigned to the new layer.

Angle was created: The program can distinguish whether an angle originates from a library of the design program or was entered manually in the plan program. This information is used when inserting another library into the same view window. With the program version "Plan Program" you can set whether the content of the view window should be completely deleted before inserting, only the elements from a library, or nothing at all. This can be manipulated by changing the assignment of individual elements here.

Representation: The display style of an angle can be changed here afterwards. Two forms are available: "Without leader line" and "With leader line". (see "Angle -- Create")

To modify angles, you can select any number of angles at once. When selecting multiple angles, it can quickly occur that some angles have different settings for one or more options. Since the program can display only one setting per option, three asterisks (***) appear in the affected field. This immediately indicates that the selected angles have different settings in that field. As long as you do not change the setting in such a field, the individual angles retain their respective settings. However, as soon as you change the setting, all selected angles receive the new setting.
