Dimension too large error (apparently no calculation involved)
You can add \tracingmacros=1 to your code before the \draw command.
Then you can look in the log-file and it is rather easy to see a few lines before the error (around line 84000) that pgf is just ...

How can I draw angled lines in LaTeX to create ruled template for calligraphy?
You can use polar coordinates such as (55:100cm). In the code below, I compute the precise number of oblique lines to draw in function of the chosen angle \myAngle and the distance \myDist between two ...

Various questions on the pic command from the Tikz angles library
It seems to me that you must use coordinate names. My guess is that the internals use \pgfpointanchor or some such, which requires a named node. It's probably good form to name your coordinates anyway!...

how to draw a phasor diagram (like this picture)
The easiest way to learn about arc construction is to use the verbose mode at first. So the command
\draw [red, thick] (1.0,0) arc [start angle=0, end angle=30, radius=1cm]
node [midway, right] {$...

How can I put the angle more right than I put here? And how can I make a subtitle also?
The initial point of the angle needs to be located along the line, so using polar coordinates (20:0.7) is the easiest way to specify that:
