Dimension arc length

Is it possible in Inventor to dimension an arc's
true length?

In a sketch, I mean. I think I've done it on
drawings.

In an IDW its as easy as a RMB before placing the dim,

In an IPT its not doable without math formulas

Crap. That's how I had to do it in MDT. Here's a vote for an 'arc length'
sketch dimension in a future release....

There is an example in Cf on how to do it in part mode..

I'd be working the other way... you use the angle and radius to find arc
length; I would use radius and arc length to find the angle. Can you post
an example of that? I just imported my adjustable arc from MDT, but I'd
like to see your solution. Thanks...

I posted an example on 05/13/02 "Chord length of arc"
See if that helps.
