Draft is not showing the correct angle dimension

[Roy_043]

Made a wire on 1-2-3, moved the wire over to the right, and it gives the correct angle.

That is understandable as the DraftGeomUtils.findIntersection() function looks for endpoints that exactly match first. In that case it just returns that point without calculating the intersection. If the edges are from a single triangular wire an exact match will be found. With one edge from the sketch and one edge from the wire there is a minute tolerance between the endpoints that apparently match.

otherwise all is the same.

No, it's not, the coords are different as well. You need to redo your tests. This problem occurs in V0.19 to V0.21.

it is also wrong here, but with a different value

With the center being wrong, the resulting angle depends on which endpoint of the edges is used in the calculations.

@Roy_043 I also notice that in the previous version and current version that linear dimensions are correct in all views including home view. But angle dimensions are not correct in home view but other views are correct. This is a different test: Attached

The 125.26 is the correct angle.

That is a different issue. You need to ensure that the draft working plane is correctly aligned before creating an angular dimension.

@Roy_043 Okay going back to the original problem and in current version:

If I make a wire over the lines, including the sketch line, then delete the sketch, The angle from the wire is correct: Attached

Edit:

All was even with screen as I again used the Align_View_to_Face.FCMacro. But even aligned, a dimension to the sketch line shows wrong, but I know the angle is correct, verified with @edwilliams16 macro and sketcher is correct.

I have already explained that. It does not make sense to add more files when the cause of the problem has already been identified.

Alright, I will start a new post concerning home view dimensions, since that is a different issue. Thanks

Also will the issue here be corrected soon?

....

workaround: draw an additional polyline before dimensioning

Thanks, but this solution has already been given twice in this topic.
