I realize I'm likely asking Chief to do something it's not really set up to do, but here it goes.  I'm working on a basic layout of a "grain bin house".  I have the exterior wall set, I believe I got the stairs to snap to that exterior wall, and windows are initially located.  However, I'd like to place things a little more accurately, is there such a thing as dimensions along a curve?  None of the automatic tools seem to want to initiate anything.  I can place manual dims, but only on a straight line.  Are there any other options out there?

You may need to snap some cad arc's to your wall surface that you intend to use for measuring and then use a referenced macro to display the arc length.   A little complicate though as you will likely find that measuring to center will give the most accurate results for layout then work out from there.
