Angle

[Cadwork22]

I need to adjust the angle of two walls, and the angle dimensions is doing nothing, I read in the forums to use CAD lines, and still nothing.  Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

can you open object on the wall you want to change and manually enter the angle you want?

CAD lines as a reference to use the make parallel tool. You might have to temporarily disconnect the wall from the other wall to get it to move properly.

You should be able to use an angular dimension as well.  You have to draw the angular dimension manually, then select the wall you want to rotate, and then click on the angle to change it.  Works basically the same way that moving a wall by clicking on a normal dimension works.

I don't do this much but noticed that the start point of the wall "S" is the rotation point and will then disconnect from the end point if you adjust with the angle in the dbx. Therefore, make sure the start and end points are on the correct side.

You can also use the "lock" to control how it rotates or moves when you make changes in the wall dialog.  It does help to pay attention to the start and end though.
