Dimension an Arc length in Drawing

davis_pearsondavis_pearson Member Posts: 2
Is it possible to dimension an arc length in a drawing? I can get the radius/diameter dimension, and the angle dimension just fine, but can't seem to figure out how to get the length. The number I'm looking for would be the same as the measure tool and selecting the arc. I could just measure it and add the dimension manually, but I'd love for it to be calculated in case I need to update the arc later

    Required to have.  I bought the service to make drawings specifically for arc lengths. Oops

    Have to add my vote for this. I'm finding dimensioning in drawings quite challenging in general. There are a number of workarounds for other issues but curve length does not appear to have one. I'm not sure what to do here. Need to communicate the arc length to the fab shop. I can put a comment/note on there but then if/when the design changes...
