    Arc length in IV6.0

    Is there anyway I can find the arc length in IV6.0.

    Previously in MDT4.0 I would make it into a polyline and just list that arc to give my a constant length. Thanks.

    Search the newsgroup on arc length,  several suggestions
    including example files have been posted.

    Create a new 3DSketch / Project the Arc (and anything else you want
    included like lines and more connected arc and splines etc. / RMB and
    pick loop length then select the 3DSketch.

    • Tools/measure distance

    • Select the arc (by default you will get the
      radius)

    • RMB

    • Select other

    • Use the arrows to cycle between radius and
      arc length ( keep also an eye on the banner of the dialog changing from radius
      to length)

    • Hit the green button in between the two
      arrows
