creating a 180 degree dimension on the drawing format

I am new at pro-e and am trying to add a angular dimension to a round part on the drawing. We are running Wildfire 2.0 but I was trained on 3.0 and could create the 180 degree dimension in 3.0 but I can not get it to work in 2.0. This is the method I used in 3.0: Select the vertical, then the horizontal, then select the vertical again, then middle click to place the dimension. The one side of the dimension line will have double arrows. Right click on the dimension and select properties in the “witnessline display� section select show and close the dimensions properties box. The 180 degree dimension should be shown correctly. Can someone please help me?

Hi This might be a weired method, but this works. The idea is, when you create a round part, by extruding it,in the sketcher mode(part mode), divide the circle at the extreme ends (between those where you want to show 180 deg) by using, divide the entity at the point of selection icon (which is in trim curve option). Now choose show dimension icon, select those two points, where section got divided and then the arc (so now 2 point and then half arc is selected), and then on top of arc click mouse middle button, with which you get 180 deg in the part sketcher mode. Now go to drawing, click on show-erase icon, and click the view, where you can find 180 deg. I hope this helps you. If not please let me know. shekar
