how to remove extension lines to center of an arc on an angular or inside radius dimention?

[troy]

I am trying to dimension a curved platform and I need to know how to turn off the lines that extend past the dimension and continue to the center point of the arc.  That center point is way off my page. 

The attached screen shot is showing the issue.  

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi

What happens when you delete an angular dimension and place it again? It looks to me like a dimension taken from a model 🤔

Here you see the process of trimming the radius dimension:

Nothing happens if I do that.

The dimension is part of the drawing, not the model. The platform is a model, but the dimension is placed on the drawing. 

If you place a dimension on the inside of an arc, it draws the line all the way to the center point. I want to remove that extension line between the text and the center point.

To indicate a "shortened" radius, you can use the option "Jogged":

For angular dimension I don't see any problem

But if you say about angular dimension of arc, indeed, we can't hide extension line

but you can placed it on the other side of arc

That works for the radius dimension, thank you.

The "jogged" option isn't there for the angular dimension though.

Any additional ideas for that one?

I can't reproduce this behavior on my computer. Can you share the files?

[troy]

You are correct, angular dimensions between two lines work fine.

This is specific to the angle of an arc.  

So there is no way to dimension the angle of an arc on the inside of the arc, unless the lines go all the way to the center?  

Having the dimension on the outside, which means that it is over the top of the actual part that I am trying to detail certainly isn't idea.

@Alexander_Chernikov  is right. In the case of angular dimensions, you should capture lines, not arcs.

"@Alexander_Chernikov  is right. In the case of angular dimensions, you should capture lines, not arcs."

That's not a acceptable solution, since those are not the same dimension.  See below. 

Our typical print to our shop shows both the angular dimension and the arc length of the channel that makes the frame of the platform. Ostensibly they give the same information, as you could take the angular dimension and figure out the arc length, or vice versa, but having them both on the print is our normal convention.
