Sketcher: Switch line side for angle constraint

[Joel_graff]

Is there a way to switch which side of a line the angle constraint is fixed upon? In this case, it's reading the obtuse angle, and I need it to read the acute angle:

I realize I can adjust it by subtracting the value from 180 degrees, but it's not really ideal.

Just tried with 0.17, and you can create a construction line on the other acute side (with coincident constraints to keep it in place while your edit the rest of your sketch) and measure the angle from the construction line to your geometry line. Not super practical, but it works.

Hmmm... Seems like fodder for a feature request to me .

Still, interesting approach. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

This topic is nearly 4 years old. The Sketcher WB has under gone a huge number of changes since then. If you are serious it is mandatory to test with a very recent FC version 0.20.xxxxx
