Arc Dimension (3-D)

3-D Dimensioning + Text > Arc

Use the functions of the Individual dimensions and Arc to create arc dimensions as individual dimensions or dimension sets. In the process, not the centriangle of an arc, but the relevant arc length will be determined.

Proceed as follows:

Specify the centre point of the arc.

Specify a start point on the arc.

Identify the end point on the arc.

Specify the next points or press the middle mouse button to end the function.

Overview of functions

3-D Dimensioning + Text > Individual dimensions...

Variable dimensioning

Determines the arc dimension between start and end point of an arc. The projection lines run parallel to the virtual angle bisector of the circle sector and start at the arc end points. Dimension line and arc are concentric.

Arc dimension, via point/edge/surface

determines the arc dimension between the start point and the end point of an arc.

Arc dimension, via centre/start/end

Dimensions an arc section. Specify the centre point, the start point and the end point of the arc section to be dimensioned.

Arc dimension, via 2 points projected onto circle

Dimensions an arc section by specifying the circle/arc and the start and end point. In contrast to the other functions, the specified points need not be located on the circle/arc, but are projected onto it, or onto its (virtual) extension. This function can, for instance, be applied to bent or drilled beams.

Arc dimension, via 3 points on arc

Dimensions an arc that is defined by 3 points. These points are: The start point, an intermediate point and the end point on the arc.

Running dimension

Please note:

For new dimensions the current parameter settings will apply. In connection with the Arc dimension, via centre/start/end function, please note that the dimensions (depending on the settings on the System tab) will be projected onto the active processing plane.
