Summary
Measures the radius of a selected circle or arc and displays the dimension text
with a radius symbol in front of it. You can use grips to reposition the resulting
radius dimension easily.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select arc or circle:
Specify dimension line location (page 312) or [Mtext (page
312)/
Text (page 313)/Angle (page 313)]: 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 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
1083).
If alternate units are not turned on in the dimension style, you can display
them by entering square brackets ([ ]). For more information about formatting
dimension text, see Select and Modify Objects.
The current dimension style determines the appearance of the generated
measurements.
