Creating Radius Curvature Dimensions

This task will show you how to create and modify a radius curvature dimension. A radius curvature dimension lets you know the curvature radius at a given point on a curve (spline, ellipse, etc.).

1. Select the Dimension icon I_Dim2DP2.gif (243 bytes) from the Dimensioning toolbar.

2. Move the cursor over the spline. You can notice that the cursor changes to indicate that you are going to create a dimension on a spline. 

 
3. On the spline, click the point where you want to create the radius curvature dimension. A preview of the radius curvature dimension is displayed.

4. Click to validate the dimension creation.

5. Move the dimension over the spline to modify the dimension.
