Enter an Angle

Use the Angle control to enter an angle by specifying a bearing in relation to the default bearing. The default bearing (and zero angle) is east. Positive angles are measured counter-clockwise from 0 to <360 degrees. "Angle" appears on the Status Bar when the command is active.

To specify an angle:

  • Pick an anchor point in a graphic view. With the cursor "rubber-banding" from the default bearing, pick another point to specify the angle.

  • Right-click in a graphic view, select a snap command from the context menu, and specify the necessary parameters.
