Solidworks Angle from vertical

[billylecaid]

I would like to know if there is anyway in solidworks to place a dimension such as the picture that I posted bellow ( link ).

I don't think there anything else to say so let me know what you think !

Thank you

Sketch a vertical line, then dimension between it and the edge.

to add to what TheTick said..........the same way it has been done in AutoCAD

Ok thank you i though there would have been a fancier way

I always used the method described above.

Alternatively, you could show one of the complimentary angles.

Actually You request a measure to something which is not there. As VERTICAL is not defined by any line, It´s impossible to measure. If you want it invisible, either do the line and after the dim i set, right-click it and hide it; or insert a plane in the model and give the edge an angle to this plane. By inserting automatic dimensions in the drawing, this dimension should appear.

One other option that I have used if the length of the part allows is to use the opposite face as the vertical.
