How To Find The Length Of A Line/Arc
Q. How can I find the length of a line/arc?
A. There are actually two ways to achieve this.
Method 1
One way is to use the Layers page in the Project Manager. Expand out the APS Geometry layer by clicking on the + sign; in this case there is only (1) geometry listed.
Right mouse click Geo 1, and select Properties. You will notice that a window appears at the bottom of the Layers page. This will give you all the pertinent data for this geometry.
The length of the arc is 15.707963
Method 2
The second way of determining the length of geometry is to go to the CAD pull down menu and select the Dimension command.
Use the Aligned option, click OK and select the geometry.
