Creates jogged radius dimensions when the center of an arc or circle is located
off the layout and cannot be displayed in its true location. The origin point
of the dimension can be specified at a more convenient location called the
center location override.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select arc or circle: Select an arc, circle, or polyline arc segment
Specify center location override: Specify a point
Accepts a new center point for a jogged radius dimension that takes the place
of the true center point of the arc or circle.
Specify dimension line location (page 297) or [Mtext (page
297)/
Text (page 297)/Angle (page 298)]: Specify a point or enter an option
Dimension Line Location Determines the angle of the dimension line and
the location of the dimension text. If the dimension is placed off of an arc
resulting in the dimension pointing outside the arc, AutoCAD for Mac
automatically draws an arc extension line.
Mtext Displays the In-Place Text Editor, which you can use to edit the
dimension text. Use control codes and Unicode character strings to enter
special characters or symbols. See
Control Codes and Special Characters (page
1049).
If alternate units are not turned on in the dimension style, you can display
them by entering square brackets ([ ]). For more information, see Select and
Modify Objects.
The current dimension style determines the appearance of the generated
measurements.
Text Customizes the dimension text at the Command prompt. The generated
dimension measurement is displayed within angle brackets.
