I think I am not the first with that question , but how to make a aligned bimension between 2 angular walls , dimesion must be aligned to one of the wall or only to the points , or to make a line that intersects all the walls and align dimesnions to that line, but if i will delete that line , the dimension line must stay, a kind of nonasociated dimension, only through points.a dimension that is aligned only to selected points, like in autocad...  detail line helps but how to make it invisible ...

A couple of tricks:

1. Use your tab key to select a point instead of a line/face.  The point must be an intersection or the end of a line.
2. Draw a temporary line perpindicular to what you are dimensioning.  Start your aligned dimension using that line then dimension both ways and complete the dimension.  Delete the line.

One dimension - not two.... A continuous dimension.

You should use continuous dimesions whever possible.
