Dimension distance between two angled lines

DesignDesign
DesignDesign over 10 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to place a dimension between two parallel lines, but they sit at an angle.  When I use the 'Linear  Dimension' tool, it only gives me the X or Y distance only.

How do I get and dimension the distance between the two angled lines?

Thanks!
