for the file(dimension)...cam made using camtrax..PROBLEM: how to convert the selected entities into arcs so that I can dimension the arcs similar to what I have done to two arcs as show in the pictures…having dimensioned arcs makes it easy for the manufacturer to come up with a realistic model.have no prolems with the rest of the two views
second is the camtoolbox cam..having problems dimensioning the arcs...but it dimensions for me the horizontal and vertical ordinates.

Do the arcs really need to be dimensioned? I would assume the sponsor is making this on a CNC machine, and you're giving him a solid model to CAM.
It's not uncommon for parts that are infeasible to dimension every feature to just dimension the critical hole sizes, placements, etc. and then just throw a few reference dimensions for the rest. This is assuming it will be made via CNC and they have a solid model.
