Arc length

Arc length

(OP)
Hello,

I am trying to check a model in UG NX 9. Need the arc length measurements as seen in the attached image. I tried using dimension tool in drafting, "arc length" but that only allows me to choose holes. I need the arc length between 2 points is this possible in NX? any workaround?

Thanks,

RE: Arc length

While it's true that the 'Arc Length' dimension will only select an arc curve, you can also use the Measure Length of any curve using the Measure Length function using the 'Simple Length' option. Now in the case of you example you may have to add additional curves to get something that can actually represent the value being measured.
