Good morning guys today we are learning about How to measure the angle in AutoCAD and How to find the angle between two lines in AutoCAD

If you want to measure an angle in AutoCAD, you can use Angular dimension which is one of the options for dimensions.

Angular dimension measures the angle between two lines whether both are joint or not.

It also measures the angle of the arc or angle between two points of the circle.

Select ‘Angular dimension’ from the Annotation panel in the Home tab. Or type ‘DIMA’ in the command bar and press Enter key.

It will ask for ‘select arc, circle, and line’. Select the first line if we want an angle between two lines.

For lines, it will ask for “select the second line“. Select the second line to measure the angle between the two lines.
