Arc Length Dimensions

Arc Length Dimensions

Arc Length Dimensions

(OP)
I've got a few questions about arc length dimensions, and how to use them in Pro/E Wildfire 3.0:

1. Is there a way to insert arc length dimensions directly in sketcher, or can they only be added in the drawing? There is a perimeter dimension that works similarly, but is displayed as "#.## perim", rather than with an arc length symbol.

2. How do you create a note containing the arc length symbol? While you can reference an existing dimension, and put its contents in the note, I'm looking instead to just get the arc symbol, without any numbers attached.

3. Under ANSI Y14 or CSA B78, are there any standard practices or special cases relating to arc length tolerances? I imagine it's just like a linear tolerance, but I wanted to verify. (And I know this part belongs in Drafting Standards....)
