After inserting a arc length dimension, I can select the dimension and change its properties. If I unclick the 'automatically choose arc length leaders' box, I can then check show leaders radially. How do I set up our drawing templates to automatically show arc length leaders radially instead of parallel?

Another little tip here – you don't need to press the CTRL key and you can select the point, point, arc combination in any order.

This is a pretty neat little trick Alex. I have only used it a couple of times in SW so far. I could have used this in AutoCAD years ago when I had a whole slew of parts that needed the arc length dimensioned.
