I am working from a surveyor's drawing, and need to input the arc length with a given radius.
(I think I know the answer is "no" or "buy an add-on" but I am posing the question so I can ask the next question: Why not? )

Is there any way to draw a precise Arc length using Archicad?

Thanks for the Arc Tool and Special Snap Point tip. I have tried the Arc Tool and it works quite well. Now, how do I hide the dashed radius lines. Radius lines are okay for some uses, but on a survey drawing the radius lines will overly clutter the drawing.

I didn't use the arc tool for actual finished dwgs but as a way of establishing setting out points. I kept the arc object on a
To answer your question it would be quite simple to add a parameter to the object to have the choice of seeing the lines or not. It could even just show a cross hair target for the radi point instead. What would you prefer?
