    V23 Dimensioning imported dxf

    Got some dxf files, imported to bobcad. I can look at them, and pull some dimensions. What I can't seem to do, is get the dimension for the centers of the arcs. Im just starting with bobcad, v23, and these are one off parts, and simple. Im also dreading hooking up bobcad to run machines, as the controllers are not directly supported, so I may have to have bobcad make some custom software.

    At any rate, how do I get the dimensions for the centers of the arcs?

    You could place a point at the center of the arc and dimention that.Select points,arc center.

    Problem is I can't tell where the center is, so Im only closely guessing on that point.

    Found it, under "points" go to "arc center" click arc, center point shows up.

    Thanks, thats probably what you meant!
