To annotate an angle use these steps:

  1. Select select  two of any line, segment, vector, or polygon side.  The Annotate / Angle icon annotate angle  will light up and the lines will be highlighted.
  2. Click the icon
  3. Enter the angle information.  There are no format restrictions.  You can use Symbols and Annotation Symbols in the entry.  Press enter when you're done.

Which Side to Annotate?

Sometimes when identifying angles, the annotation falls on the wrong one.  In the example below, we wanted BDC, not BDA.  Just click the cursor over the annotation arrow and drag it to the other side, then release the mouse button - done!

Note: The angular units are displayed in the lower right of the screen. You can choose Radians or Degrees in this window, or set the default Angle Mode in the Edit / Preferences / Math Properties menu, Math settings group.
