Co-radial sketch features?

Co-radial sketch features?

Co-radial sketch features?

(OP)
Wondering how other folks handle this in SE (ST4), when you have multiple circular arc segments that all have the same radius, sharing the same center point?  

SolidWorks has a "co-radial" constraint, which is pretty nice.

In SE, I create a radial construction line from the circular arc center to the midpoint of the circular arc, then make those lines equal in length.

It works well enough, but I had an instance with a lot of co-radial arc segments, so it got to be a bit annoying doing the same construction repeatedly.

RE: Co-radial sketch features?

SE has a concentric constraint - icon is one circle inside another,
3rd from left of top line in Relate group.
