Description
The Dimension_Radius tool adds a radius dimension to a View. The dimension may be applied to any Edge in the drawing which is a circle or circular arcs.
How to use
- Select a circle or circular arc in the drawing. (Note some arcs which appear to be circular are actually ellipses or BSplines. You cannot make a radius dimension in these cases)
- Press the 16 TechDraw Dimension_Radius button
- A dimension will be added to the View. The dimension may be dragged to the desired position.
Options
None.
