See also: Drawing Diametral Dimensions
The Diametral (Dimension menu) command displays the diameter of an arc. The dimension text can be preceded by the diameter symbol, Ø or the radius symbol, R. (Construction arcs cannot be dimensioned.)
Two digitises are required. The first, an entity digitise on the arc, determines the position of the arrow head on the arc. The second is a free digitise which determines whether the dimension text and arrow are inside the arc, or across the arc and extending beyond it to the text outside.
