Radius Dimensions

A radius dimension notes the radius of an arc (including a bulged segment of a polygon or polyline) or circle. You can place the label for a radius dimension inside or outside of the referenced arc or circle. Clicking just inside the arc or circle places it inside. Clicking just outside the arc or circle places it outside. AutoSketch automatically calculates the value displayed in the dimension label based on settings in the Dimension Format dialog box, that can be opened by clicking on the Format button on the edit bar. For information on formatting a radius dimension, see online Help.
