      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?

          Hi folks.

          If you have some time to loose here is a possible workaround:

                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.

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

                      I find out how this work!
                      Thanx!
                      But it would be very convenient to have a tool like linear dimension!
