Changing the Way the Distance is Measured

To change the way the distance is measured:

  1. Click the dimension between arcs.

    To display both First arc condition and Second arc condition in the Dimension PropertyManager, select the edges of both arcs with the Smart Dimension Tool_Smart_Dimensions_Relations.gif tool.

  2. In the Dimension PropertyManager, select the Leaders tab.
  3. Under Arc Condition:
    1. Set a value for First arc condition.
    2. Set a value for Second arc condition.
  4. Click PM_OK.gif.
