Hello Dear NanoCAD specialists!

How to enter an angular dimension with a shelf in the UCS so that the shelf is horizontal?

Thank you in advance!

Sorry, I was unable to reproduce this.
Can you try to set UCS by your current view?
I tried in nanoCAD Platform 23 version.

Look at the picture please.
The leader shelf is directed along the World coordinate system.

In what version of nanoCAD are you trying this?

22,23,24

1. WCS; Drew two lines, set angular dimension (44), selected "Move with Leader", shelf is horizontal to world coordinate system.
2. SHIFT + mouse = rotated current view; call UCS command and selected VIEW, so current view is no longer equal to world.
3. Drew two lines, set angular dimension (35), selected "Move with Leader", shelf is horizontal to UCS I set.

Maybe I misunderstood something in your issue?

This method doesn't always work for me.

And after shifting the UCS axes (SHIFT + mouse), the size may not be placed on previous objects accurately.

Can you, please, describe your steps when it doesn't work?

Do you use bindings to place objects more precisely?
