RobWhite Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 How do you label a radius or diameter dimension. It does not appear to be lists in the dimension options. Using CA X9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 This tool doesn't exist in Chief. I draw a line with arrow, break it at some point to turn it into a polyline, then edit the label to display the dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Or, you can use an End To End Dimension and add some Trailing Text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'm guessing the radius and diameter dimension is still not an option on X10? Will it be there on X11? Shouldn't this have always been a standard thing in dimensioning? I can fudge a circle dim., but how many actual circles do we build? I need to dim many arcs.. Any shortcut ways to dim. a center of a arc? I can see the point when I pick the arc, but not in dim mode. Back to the drawing board and locate centers with cad lines is the only way I can think.

Point to point dimensions will locate and snap to the arc center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 If you toggle on "Arc Centres and Ends", you can snap an End to End dimension from the centre point to the arc/circle. Make sure you have at least Centre snaps toggled on and start your dimension on the centre point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Been a long day, thanks for the help both of you. I totally forgot about the arc centers toggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpot Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This is a basic feature in CAD programs, CA needs to add this ability without having to draw a dimension - especially when modifying things at a later time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
