Arc length

[AJMII]

Is there any other way to dimension an arc length other than listing the length and then using angular dimension and change the angle to the length?

Thanks

I always use radius, angle and start point. The best is to dimension it for
the user of the drawing.

One needs to customize to achieve this. You can search for a lisp or vba on
the web.

Procedure:
PEDIT command to convert to a pline.
Area>Object option, pick it.
Perimeter variable will list the length.
Remember to explode it back to an arc.

If you cannot find the lisp on this server, or need help writing it as a
lisp or toolbar button macro, post back.
