From what I know I would draw a pependicular line to one of the side faces then draw a connected vertical line, then will join both and apply a CPlane to draw the dimension. is there a one click operation for something like that as I have 50 panels. Thank you a lot for your wisdom. Hannes (note: I know it’s creative chaos, will nest everything right after 
Hi Hannes - does DimCreaseAngle help in this case?

Damn quick, so I have to substract the angle from 90 degrees, as I have to figure out the from the vertical line as we would use a buzz saw for most of the pieces tmw. will later go directly into CNC.
Thanks for putting this one out!!!
@pascal just an quick idea: would be way faster if you only have to click an edge on solids and then drag the dimension. Thank you! H
Hi Hannes - you can try this hack to see if it does anything useful …
The good thing is it does not require the faces to be planar; it works on a joined edge between two faces and returns the local angle right where you pick.

to make an alias.
As always, scripts guaranteed sort of tested.

Woooah! Thank you Pascal! This is a timesaver!!!
What I encountered is that it may calculate a bit weired and takes a different angle. So my job is to substract the 90 degrees. Anyways, very very niceeeee!
@pascal encountered, when solid’s directions are flipped, the dimensions are also flipped, something we have to be aware of. 
Hi Hannes - yes, direction matters - I had an interface on there while testing where you could flip each direction in case the initial guess was wrong but it was a messy workflow so I took it out - for closed solids, it should always be right (right?) but for open objects, I guess I do need a flipper. I’ll see if I can make a better one than I first tried.
@hannesgrebin - I added a flipper - it’s not great but I’m just using the DimAngle command in the script so I don’t need to try to cook up my own, so for now it’s the best I can do. Basically there is an added ‘Flip or Enter to accept’ stage added - if you flip it you must place the dimension again.
