How to dimension the length of an arc?
-
Hi Jon, if you want to know the length of an arc (or a circumference, or a line etc.) select it then right click-->entity info.
Remember that you have to click on "show details" (the little "+" white sign on upper right corner) if the length is not showed in your entity info panel.

Thank you for that Massimo, that gets me halfway there. I realized after your help that the info was contained in entity info. Sometimes I don't see the forest for the trees. However, i need to show the length of a number of arcs. Is there a plugin like Mr.Bur's dimension by angle or the ability to annotate the length of a curve ( circumference) that will take that info and create a dimension annotation for the length of any curve? Any body?

Amazing work! I like the details.

I wish i could take credit for the design but its a restoration on a hundred and fifty year old commercial building and i need to replicate the work of the old craftsmen which means i have to pretty much relearn the trade and workflow as well as the methodology of their design.

Oh. Still, nice model.

is there a plugin to add the dimension of an arc but not in the layout?
