If I want to dimension the centerline length, I typically offset the curve, draw the tangent lines at the end, and then place leaders at the end of the line so I can scale the arrowheads to the same as my text style in layout view. However one of the following would be easier for the future:
A command that could dimension the length of the curve and recognizes the end tangents to accomplish this automatically
The “Arrowhead” command could be scalable to an annotation style rather than scale with the view
I doubt this is a common use case but would be helpful in my workflow! Thanks!
This is basically the bottleneck to doing a custom macro
EDIT: just tinkered around, found out, that you can use a Leader with Landing disabled to make a size-responsive Arrowhead. with this, you or a LLM could throw together a CurveDim macro.
I threw something together, Claude was used to make the dimensioning aware of its history, like normal dimensioning. Text uses a solid background mask, in the end everything gets grouped. Arrowheads are used for the dimensioning limiters.
