Can we put a angle dimension in % with SolidWorks?

Not to my knowledge....

You have to show a rating with the right formula.

Don't rate your angle, but draw a construction sketch dimensioned with the percentage formula!!

An example with a slope of 10%!!

Something like that? (see image)

 

If that's the case, just dimension your angle as you usually do and replace the number with the percentage you want

Replaces the mention <DIM> (see image)

 

by the percentage you want

e.g. 50%

@Bart, it works for an indication on a plan (and even then you have to calculate it or find the formula), but to pilot a sketch you have to find another trick!!

@David, the percentage formula, that is?

He just talks about "putting" a corner rib

 

So for me it was precisely for an indication on a map.

 

flegendre for a confirmation? :p

Bart, I don't want to put text. I want the angle dimension (in %) calculated.

45° corresponds to 100% slope. Perpendicular triangle with adjacent side 100mm and opposite side 100mm

So you just have to make a sketch that drives this

It's noted!

 

From experience, I curse customers who send me plans with percentage ratings:D

Exactly, therefore, instead of putting an angle of 45°: the dimension driven on the side opposite to the angle becomes a formula

"OPPOSITE SIDE" = 1x"ADJASCENT SIDE"

 

For a slope of 10%

"OPPOSITE SIDE"= 0.1x"ADJASCENT SIDE"

For a slope of 20%

"OPPOSITE SIDE"= 0.2x"ADJASCENT SIDE"

Hello

 

To complete David be3's answer

 

tan (alpha) = (Opposite side)/(adjacent side)

 

By doing the opposite tangent, you find the angle in degrees.

Text explanation:

 

  • Retrieving the 2 sides making the slope in variables to "link the values"
  • Global variable to calculate slope
  • Property to retrieve the result
  • Setting up a corner dimension, and removing any value
  • Place a comment at the level of the call number by looking for the property of the 3D

Here is a tutorial. My first one a little indulgence...
