You can reshape a radius dimension after it is drawn by double-clicking on it and dragging the appropriate vertex to new locations. You can use this technique to change the angle of the dimension line or to move the dimension label.

To change the angle of a radius dimension

1 Double-click the dimension or right-click it and click Edit Vertices on the pop-up menu.

2 Click the vertex on the dimension line and drag it to the new location.

The dimension line is rotated so it passes through the point you enter. The dimension label remains in the same relative location.

To move the label and change the angle of a radius dimension
