Creating Arc Length Dimensions¶
The AM_PowerDimensionArcLen command creates arc length power dimensions.
If you select a power dimension in the graphics area and the ribbon is active, the corresponding contextual ribbon tab appears. The contextual ribbon tab groups options and tools for controlling the DimensionStyle, arrows, dimension lines, and more.
To create arc length power dimensions:
Click Mechanical Annotate > Mechanical Dimension > Arc Length (or type AM_PowerDimensionArcLen).
Select an arc or arc segment of a PolyLine.
Specify the position of the dimension line or specify an option:
Leader. Adds a Leader to the Dimension which is drawn from the dimension line to the arc towards the center of the arc. A Leader is added only if the included angle of the arc is less than 90°. The command creates the Leader automatically. You must specify the location of the dimension line. The No leader option exits the Leader option and lets you conclude the command without creating a Leader.
Partial. Lets you dimension the length of part of an arc. Specify two points on the arc: one where the arc length Dimension should begin, and another where it should end. Use the EntitySnap functions to ensure that the two points are located on the arc.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary, or press Esc.
