How do a make one dimension equal to another?

I have some lines that I want to keep at a specific angle to one another, and I want that angle to drive the angle between two other lines. How do I set one dimension to be always equal to another dimension as the first one varies?

You can't yet. What you can do is ccreatr a variable and then link both dimensions to it.Lou Gallo

You can create a variable and drive both dimensions with that variable. Alternatively, if you can create a construction lines whose lengths are proportional to the angles, and then add an equal constraint between them.5

Just curious if that's still the case now? This is the top resulting when looking. Construction lines work fine just curious if there's a faster way now0

The only new development is you can now create a variable on the fly by typing # in a dimension field.0
