Hey all,

I am having a frustratingly simple problem but can't find a solution via online search and help docs for the life of me.

In drafting mode, I am trying to dimension the overall length of my part (which has a curved end). It keeps dimensioning off the centerpoint of the curved edge, no matter where I click. I've turned off the snap points with no success. How do I dimension to the curved edge itself and not its centerpoint?

Thanks very much!
 
There is no "point on curve" snap when the dimension tool is active
 
Ah, yes! I didn't try that one because I thought it referred to tangent line intersection points. Thanks very much cowski!
