Dimension Angles

[rwright.24150]

I'm trying to dimension the angles around a circle. I'm running into 2 problems. 1) if the angle is 180 degrees, it considers the angle to be on a single line and won't create the dimension and 2) if the angle is greater than about 144 degrees it rotates the whole dimension off of the base point and creates an angle dimension of 144 degrees. Am I missing something or is there a work around?

I've attached a file.

I dont *think* you can do what you are trying to do in AutoCAD.
It won't recognize 180 degrees or greater, it will always give you the lesser of the angles.

Unless someone else out there has a work around?

Use the "vertex" option of an angle dimension ([Enter] immediately after starting the dimangle command) and you should be able to dimension 180 or greater.

Very NICE! didn't know you can do that.
I tried it out and it works great... see attached modified version of the OP's dwg
