Radial Dimensions display the value of the radius of a curved element.
Radial dimensions have two main parts: the Dimension (pointer) Line and the text.
•Click on a point of the curved element.
•Draw the dimension line, either toward the centerpoint of the curve or in the opposite direction. The radial dimension must always originate from a curved element.
•Click again to place the text, which shows the value of the radius.
Text orientation can be selected in Radial Dimension Settings.
See Radial Dimension Tool Settings.
For more information on editing the content of Radial Dimension text, see Edit Content of Dimension Text.

You can adjust a placed radial dimension with the aid of the pet palette:
