Notes
- The position of the symbol is set by the DIMARCSYM dimension variable, on the Primary Units tab of DIMSTYLE: before the text, above it or none.
- The dimension uses the current dimension style (DIMSTYLE) and is associated with the arc: if the arc changes, the measurement is updated.
- Partial: dimensions only the part between two points of the arc. Leader: adds a leader from the text to the arc (No leader removes it). Mtext, Text and Angle change the text and its rotation, as in the other dimensions (Mtext asks for it at the command line).
