is there a way to measure the length of a sketched spline curve in drawing mode? Analysis->measure->length generates a value, but i am not sure how to display this value in a drawing. thanks for your input.

Ok here is how you can do it.

In part mode do measure length. From the pop up window select

Description: C:\Users\rrich\AppData\Local\Temp\SNAGHTMLf5d70dc.PNG

Pull down indicated and choose feature. Click green check next.

You will get a new feature in your tree shown below. If you select info on
this feature you will see like below.





Now in your drawing you can add a note and type in the info for the
parameter LENGTH that is created with the Analysis feature above.



Your note would be this Curve length is &LENGTH:FID_66

Attached are files in WF 4 showing this example. You could rename the
analysis feature to be what ever you wish, and use that name instead of the
feature ID.



To Include a Feature Parameter in a Note

To include a feature parameter in a note, use this format:

&<param_name>:FID_<feat_id>

or

&<param_name>:FID_<feat_name>

Not what you are looking for, but in WF5/Creo you can now dimension the perimeter of an arc in sketcher.
