Partial Reduces the length of the arc length dimension.

Leader Adds a leader object. This option is displayed only if the arc (or arc

segment) is greater than 90 degrees. The leader is drawn radially, pointing

towards the center of the arc being dimensioned.

No Leader Cancels the Leader option before the leader is created.

To remove a leader, delete the arc length dimension and recreate it without

the leader option.
