This command can be used to determine a relative angle by specifying its legs' end points.

1.	Enter start point of line 1

The line's start point can be entered using the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

2.	Enter end point of line 1

The line's end point can be entered using the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

3.	Enter start point of line 2

The line's start point can be entered using the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

4.	Enter end point of line 2

The line's end point can be entered using the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

5.	Enter dimension line position

The position of the dimension line is determined by the position of a point through which it should run. If a particular distance has been entered, then the point determines the approximate position of the dimension line. This point can be entered using the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing. The dimension line position must always be entered, even if the dimension line display is disabled, since it determines the angle to be measured.

If during dimension line position entry the CTRL key is pressed, the "large" angle (above 180°) will be measured. Else, the "small" angle (below 180°) will be measured (see graphic).

After entering the angle to be measured, a dialog appears showing the angle's value.
