Is it just me or, is there still really no way to dimension to objects in a drawing at 180 deg?

I have never been able to do this but, I'm starting to wonder if I have simply missed out on something. Anyone know hoe to do this? It seems like something any drawing tool be expected to do. My use case is, dimensioning a door in an exploded view. Showing an exploded view of the door opened to 180 degrees and dimensioning it, has always been something I just end up manually typing into a note or something. 😣

What if you make it 179.999 degrees? That should be rounded up to 180 degrees?
@sebastian_glanzner I do this and sometimes it's ok. Sometimes I can't when the two lines I need to measure are not coincident with the rotating axis. When this is the case, the dimension behaves very strangely. I will try the 3 point angle dim as @PeteYodis has suggested. 😊👍
