Hi. This is my 1st post so please forgive me. I am needing to dimension from the edge of an arc to the outside of the sketch. When i try it always grabs the center of the arc. How can i dimension to the edge?

DJ,
If you hold down the Shift key while dimensioning it will grab the tangent of the arc/circle.

Thank you. That does the trick. I knew this once but like many things if you dont do them often you forget functionality.
Click on dimension.
In properties window click Leaders tab.
Under Arc Condition click Min.
Thanks for that also. I did not know that method.
Welcome to the forum. If you've already placed the dimension, you can click on it to highlight it, go to the PropertyManager, click on the Leaders tab, and go to the Arc Condition section at the bottom. "Center" will be chosen by default, but you can choose "Min" or "Max".
