    Which one is the arc length? Looks like the leader dim is the radius, no? If
    you change the angle, it still keeps the same dim.

    The vertical line is the arc length in both examples. In the first example
    change the angle or radius to get the length. In the second change the
    length or radius to get the angle...

    Naturally I saw that only after I posted ... Duh! I picked on the dim ...
    sure'nuf ... it was named arc length.

    Personally, I vote that the code for the drawing arc length be copied and
    used in the Part model
    IMHO.
