Hi, I am having issues with the arc length dimension tool. When I select the arc length dimension tool I am not able to select an arc to dimension. This happens whether I use the DG commend or select the tool icon. Other dimensions work on the arc such as Diametric and Angular. I have attached a sample file containing 2 arc created different ways (3 point, center,point,angle) and a circle. I have been using Qcad for a year and this is the first time I had this issue with the arc length.
The version is 3.25 on windows 10 64bit. Thanks for your help.

Re: Arc Length Dimension Tool
Hi,
I can add dims with DG to the two Arc's in the drawing.
The left mouse button tip is rather short: 'Arc'
Still PRO 3.24.3.10 (3.24.3.10)

Re: Arc Length Dimension Tool
I'm using ver 3.25. On opening the drawing I can select an arc and deselect it, I select dimarclength icon, the dimarclength icon shows as the active tool, after that I can't do anything. Pressing ESC has no effect, can't deselect, I can select another command, eg aligned, and the aligned icon shows as the active tool, and can cancel it by pressing ESC, but then the dimarclength icon still shows as the active tool with no way of cancelling it. I'm not sure how to use dimarclength, but it's not allowing me to pick any points or select an arc. Very odd.

Re: Arc Length Dimension Tool
Just tried ver 3.24.3.10 and I can use dimarclength as expected by selecting an arc. Looks like a bug in 3.25.
