Length of arc?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Can't remember how to do this in trig, been way too many years.
And can't seem to figure out how to get AC to measure the length
of this arc. either with spline or polyline.

I'm sure I missing the obvious but have run out of ideas.
I've tried holding down ctr/alt keys etc,etc to get it to add all together but each point I click resets length to zero again.
And bending straight line so far gives no joy.
help would be great.

Since I did not get error(win7-64), is it only a mac thing on 14?
Or am I just lucky?

Hello Laszlo,
I notice that you have AC 12 and AC 13.
Does this bug happen in either of those versions ?
Thanks,

Hi Peter,
No, it does not happen in AC12 or AC13.
Works well both when created clockwise and when an arc created counterclockwise is mirrored.
Must be a AC14 specific thing.

Maybe this problem is related to why mirrored elipses (basin objects for example) don't print to PDF in 14.
All the geometry is getting screwed up behind the scenes although it still appears correct on screen.
