Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to show an angle indication while you are sketching.

What I mean is that when constructing 2 lines, you can see the angle in between the 2 lines.

Let me clarify with some pictures.

First I draw a line, and I want to add another line at 40 degrees.

How I do it now is just add the second line, and add a smart dimension between the 2 lines to specify my angle.

Is it possible to get a guideline/indication with the angle while you are drawing the 2e line ( Like Autocad, Inventor, NX...)?
