Drawing an Angle

To draw a single angle, follow these steps:

The icon is displayed in blue. If this icon is not visible, it may have been replaced by another

measurement icon in the same icon group. Click the white arrow below the icon group button to

expand it and display all the buttons in the group. See “Overview of Tools Pane Features”.

The Measurement object list appears in the Tools pane. See “Using the Object List”.

On a 2D MPR view screen in the tab, click to set the start point of the first side of your angle.
Drag your mouse pointer and click again to set the vertex of the angle.

A line is drawn from the start point to the vertex.

Move your mouse pointer and click to set the end point of the second side of the angle.

A second line is drawn from the vertex to the end point and the angle (in degrees) between the

two lines is displayed at the vertex.

You can move length labels. See “Moving Measurement Labels in Images”.

A new angle entry is added to the Measurement object list and the button is deactivated in the Tools pane.

To draw multiple angles, in the Tools pane in the tool box, click .

This tool works in the same way as the single angle tool, but remains activated so that you can keep drawing angles on the image.
