Sure just use the radial dimension tool.

Or the Measure command. If you hover over the arc, it's centre point should show as a cross. Measure from that to the edge of the arc.

Another way is to select your arc and stretch with the Radial Stretch button on the pet palette, hover over the arc and the radius will display in the tracker. (Screen capture a bit crazy because the figures change while I'm trying to snap the image, but you get the idea).

Thank you for the answer. I tried this, but it only displays the angle, cord and arc length.

Clicking on a node, gives you a slightly different pet palette.

You should try clicking off a node, or hit tab and tab through the tracker until the Distance appears.
