Ordinate arc dimension annotations - how to?

[KhDRNM3]

I'm looking for a way to make an ordinate arc dimension a long the red line in attached picture - so I can tell where each bracket starts and stops a long the beam. How do I do that?

Thanks  in advance:-)

Hi

What exact dimensions do you want? Because in the description you mention coordinate dimensions, and in the graphics you marked the length of the arc?

I wan't both the length and the placement of each bracket along the red line  (actually along the body of the beam (blue line) moved out for visuallity).

I want 0 to be in the bottom of the picture, and an annotation at each small "arrow" so that i get an annotation on each side of the bracket.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,

No way to do it in Inventor, but some people did this in AutoCAD:

Thanks Gabriel,

Too bad this isn't in inventor yet.

Though - it isn't angular dimension I need - but the "normal" ordinate dimension along the curve.

I haven't read your link concerning the vote all the way through - are there another post that I can vote for, which have the dimensioning I need - or is it in the same post?
