    When specifying the start point and end point
    Switch the parameter on Command Window to [Start Point] box, and click the start point and end point on the drawing.
    The angle between a line connecting the start and end points, and X axis will be measured.
    When specifying the center point, start point and end point
    Switch the parameter on Command Window to [Center Point] box, and click the center point, start point and end point on the drawing.
    The angle between a line connecting the center point and start point, and that connecting the center point and end point will be measured.
    When specifying a shape
    Switch the parameter on Command Window to [Shape] box, and click a shape.
    The angle between the clicked shape and X axis will be measured.
    Shapes whose angle can be measured are lines, polylines, infinite lines, rays, arcs and texts.
    When specifying 2 shapes
    Switch the parameter on Command Window to [Shape 1] box, and click 2 shapes.
    The angle at the intersection of selected shapes will be measured.
    Shapes whose angle can be measured are lines, polylines, infinite lines, and rays.

    3. Copy
