- Select the arc or the circle with a click.

Notes
- The jog angle is the DIMJOGANG dimension variable of the style (45° if it has no value).
- The text is prefixed with the letter R, like that of a normal radius dimension, and measures the real radius.
- The dimension uses the current dimension style (DIMSTYLE) and is associated with the center of the arc or circle.
- When specifying the dimension line location, Mtext, Text and Angle are available (Mtext asks for the text at the command line).
