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

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. Example
	Arc dimension, via point/edge/surface determines the arc dimension of and arc or cylinder segment. 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 centre/start/end Dimensions an arc section. Specify the centre point, and then the two base points of the arc section to be dimensioned. Example
	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. Example
	Arc dimension, via 3 points on arc Dimensions an arc that is defined by 3 points. These points are: An intermediate point on the arc and the two bas points (start point and end point). Example

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.
