I'm trying to show a 1/2 degree angle between two lines in a drawing, but Pro/E thinks I'm trying to show the distance between where I pick on the two lines.

Is there a way to force Pro/E to show an angle dimension between lines that aren't quite parallel?

JBFJR:
&D - Default shows dimension Value
&S - Shows dimension symbol
&O text here - is a dimension override to display anything you want.
 
Its actually not that difficult. We are using Wildfire and in the config.pro there is the possibility to set the min acceptable angle. We had the same problem as you as i think the default was set as 1 degree and less than this it didnt accept it.
Try it and see if it works.

The config comand is:
minimum_angle_dimension
