Remarks

When creating a three point angular dimension, AutoCAD draws the dimension line arc between the extension lines. The extension lines are drawn from the angle endpoints to the intersection of the dimension line arc.

A 3 point angular dimension

AutoCAD uses the location of the dimension line arc to choose between the minor and major angles specified by the angle vertex and extension lines.

To create a three point angular dimension, use the AddDim3PointAngular method.
