You can later use these settings for all your inches drawings.\\ {{: | - Adapt Dimensions.

| + | There isn't a circular dimension tool for annotating arcs, but we can use one of the existing dimension tools, and then manually edit the label. | ||

| + | This really only works convincingly on segments of circles, although the approach could be applied to a continuous string of line entities, at a push, maybe with the '' | ||

| + | **Step-by-step example:** | ||
| + | - draw a circle, centred on a grid point :: '' | ||
| + | - draw two lines, from centre to perimeter, to define a segment :: '' | ||
| + | - divide the circle at the two lines, to create an arc (two, actually) :: '' | ||
| + | - select the arc to find its length in the status bar | ||
| + | - create an angular dimension annotation between the two lines :: '' | ||
| + | - edit the dimension properties, defining a new label with the length of the arc :: '' | ||
