Use element ranges to dimension elements
 
With thanks to Kirk Dunlap for this tip.
If you've created an arc by trimming an ellipse, you may not be able to dimension the long axis quite right. If so, turn on the display of the element ranges and use the snappable range block for placing the dimensions. A couple of notes: The resulting dimension will not be associated with the arc. And finally, range blocks became snappable in MicroStation V8 XM Edition.
