Diameter Dimensions

A diameter dimension notes the diameter of an arc (including a bulged segment of a polygon or polyline) or circle. You can place the label for a diameter 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. For information on formatting a diameter dimension, see online
