An Angle Size GD&T is used to vary the angle size as it may be seen on the drawing. It can be used to vary the angle size of a single tapered feature or the angle size between two different features.
1.In the GD&Ts dialog, select Angle Size in the drop-down list and select [Add GD&T]. This will open up the GD&T dialog.
2.Underneath the Features list, select [Add].
3.Select the feature(s) that are involved in the dimension.
4.Click [OK][Close] in the Pick FeatureSelect dialog
At this point the GD&T dialog will pop back up. Notice that the features selected are now in the Features list in the top half of the dialog with the first picked feature defaulted as the Origin. Reverse the selection order to swap the origin feature
5.In the Upper and Lower fields, enter the range for the GD&T. Note: if the tolerance is not symmetric, then the Symmetric checkbox must be deactivated to enable the Lower text entry field.
5.Select [OK] to exit the dialog and the save the GD&T.
