Dimension Arc Length

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.

Hi @Mac_in_Rich_Baker,

 

 

  • Use the general dimension tool and select the arc
  • then before you click to place the dimension, right click 
  • from the right click menu choose Dimension Type
  • from the dimension Type menu choose Arc Length

p.s. it's typically considered poor form to type in ALL CAPS

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
