Key features include:
- Angle Labeling Options for Closed Polylines:
- Interior Angles: Annotate the interior angles at each vertex of a closed polyline.
- Exterior Angles: Annotate the exterior angles, complementing the interior angles.
- Deflection Angles: Label the deflection angles, indicating the change in direction at each vertex.
- Both Interior and Exterior Angles: Annotate both for a comprehensive representation.
- Angle Labeling Options for Open Polylines:
- Left or Right Angles: Annotate included angles on the left or right side of the polyline.
- Deflection Angles: Indicate the angle of deviation between consecutive segments.
- Customizable Label Placement:
- Define Dimension Distance to control the placement of angle labels relative to the polyline for clarity.
- Layer Management:
- Assign labels to a specific layer to maintain organized and editable annotations.
- Label Layer Selection: Use the dialog box to select or define the layer for angle labels.
- Interactive and User-Friendly:
- Intuitive interface for setting up angle labeling preferences.
- Integrated video and help resources provide guidance on using the command effectively.
- Applications:
- Useful for annotating boundary lines, geometric layouts, and survey drawings.
- Helps in identifying critical angles for construction and design analysis.
Use Case:
The CP_ANGLABEL command is ideal for CAD professionals working on projects requiring accurate angle annotations, such as land parcel mapping, road alignment designs, and geometric verifications.
