CREATING RADIAL DIMENSIONS
Radial dimensions can be created by selecting Radius from the Annotation tool palette; see Table 11.16 for command access. The dimension is scaled according to the scale specified in the Drawing Window status bar and is placed on the A-Anno-Dims layer. You can edit the arrowhead and other features in the Properties palette. When you select Radius from the Annotation tool palette, the DimRadius command is selected, and you are prompted to select an arc, circle, or curved building object to dimension. The Radius command was used to dimension the curved wall as shown in Figure 11.28.
