The Radial Dimension tool measures and marks either radius or diameter dimensions for arcs and circles. This tool does not work on ovals or objects with rounded corners.
The Radial Dimension tool can place the dimension lines and measurements either inside or outside of the circle/arc. This tool always creates the dimension on the same plane with the arc or circle that is being dimensioned.
