    I would like to dimension the arc length of a radius in sketch mode and i was wondering if this is possible. I am using Inventor simulation 2010.

    Techniques for controlling arc length via parameters have been discussed here in the past - if you can't find the solution post back and I'll see if I still have an old file example.
