First of all, switch the show node numbers, then calculate the arch length between the first and last point.

then use the Beginning Indent and End Indent to place the first and last point correctly noting that they measure in an opposite direction.

Check below photo for reference.

another method could be by using Dynamo:

Or simply draw 2 semi-circles instead of one circle.  When you rotate them, the points will follow.

thank you very much for replying and it works, but how did you measure the arc distance between those tow points? I tried arc length dimension tool but not able to measure the arch distance between the points

Select the arch length dimension tool then hover over the point then click "tab" to swip between the available selections, once the point is highlighted. Left click the mouse.

Do the same for next point.

 

"Tab" switch between selection options, tab tab tab till the required point is highlighted then select it.

I think that you are not putting the mouse above a point.

this tool can't measure except from a point or a line.

to understand me, in your previous example it can measure only between the 8 points dividing the path.

Ah sorry I think I forget to tell you that you should select the circle first.

1- select the tool

2- select the circle

3- select first point (even if it shows as not selected)

4- select the second point.

5- place the dimension.
