I can't give arc size in technical drawing

[nferhatoglu]

I can't give a spring measure to the edge of the elbow I showed in the picture.
Is there any way or solution to this?

Can you share the f3d file please? One thing to check is is it really an arc and not a spline? Can you add a radius dimension?

@nferhatoglu 

The STEP file that you Attached here is not the same geometry illustrated in your 2D drawing?

[nferhatoglu]

It doesn't matter, both are the same.
I can give other measurements, but not the spring size. I edited the message.

I guess this fails because that is a tangent edge. 

I found a workaround using a section view. You can place the source view off the sheet by the way. I would like to tag someone in from AutoDesk but it seems like the elves are busy breaking the forum again!

Thanks Mark, that's a nice solution.
However, when I tried this arc measure in other programs, I was able to give it all, including FreeCAD.

I think authorized friends will solve this simple issue, we are waiting.

@ClintBrown3D Is this a known problem?

Thanks Mark

It's another workaround, but by copying the component to a sketch & activating the sketch in the 2D drawing, you *could* dimension the elbows as required.  Switch the body off, to place the elbow dimensions - switch it back on when done.
