Protractor?

[CraftyRobin]

I'm just wondering if there are any plans to add a protractor tool? I use AD for graphic projects but also for designing woodworking projects. A simple protractor tool would be so useful for designing all kinds of things especially joints etc, I have tried and do use a protractor asset from a third party source but having something native would be great! For accuracy I have to switch to SketchUp but would rather do everything in AD! Something like the SketchUp protractor would be an awesome addition for many people I'm sure :-)

Hi @CraftyRobin, welcome to the forums!

 

In the interim, you could try using the pen tool and clicking once at each of two points to create a straight line; after switching to the move tool with that line still selected, the "R" (rotation) shown in the Transform panel should give you the angle of that line.

Thank you! 

I shall try that and see how I get on 👍 I guess I've kinda been spoilt by the protractor tool on SketchUp 😆

I’ve totally have missed this great collection of measurement/grade assets!
