Dimensions Question

Gyasa
Hello, im trying to make a drawing of something so i could make it later at work but i cant seem to make the dimensions work properly

In the following link the red number https://imgur.com/a/aImkk3c

when i use the Aligned option it takes the diagonal measurement instead of point to point (because of all the corners)

If you want to use the Aligned option you have to draw an auxiliary perpendicular line from one of the reference corners to the virtual intersection with one of the parallel lines.
Or use Linear, and insert the proper angle for the dimension line at the Tool Options bar, appearing above the drawing area. Measure the angle from the parallel lines and use copy and paste to transfer the value.
