DWG Arc Lengths from a datum point

Is it possible to create something like a "Baseline Set" except around a curve. In AutoCAD I can reposition the grips, however I can't see easily how to achieve this in Inventor?

 

Many Thanks,

Hi! Are you trying to populate the dimension of 324mm to all other elements?

Many thanks!

Good Morning, sorry for the vagueness. I'd like to dimension as per the below screenshot. I quickly added these in AutoCAD:

I have done this but it was beyond tedious. I put a sketch on the view and drew arcs to all the points I wanted. Color them white so they do not show in the paper drawings and use arc length dimension

I did try sketching various length curves, however when dimensioning I couldn’t seem to “select other”, like normal.

The arcs in the sketch should be different sizes by .005 or less, a small enough amount it does not affect the arc length enough to matter. Yes they will be hard to pick out, you will have to zoom in very close to pick them.

Thanks for your responses. Makes sense but seems like a bit of a work around. It's a pity you can't drag the attachment points like you can with any other dimensions.
