Drawing
Create detailed 2D drawings of the selected parts of a complex 3D model from multiple perspectives.
Add Dimensions
Add linear, angular, radial, and ordinate dimensions, as well as annotations. You can change the dimension style to meet industry or project standards.
Radial Dimension
Create and edit the radius/diameter dimension of an arc, circle, or the curvature of a NURBS curve, given a center and a point.

Tutorials
Start using Inspire Studio with our interactive tutorials.
Sketching
Create and edit a 2D sketch curve. A sketch curve is any "wire" entity such as a line, rectangle, circle, or arc.
Curves
Create and edit 3D curves by extending, rebuilding, intersecting, splitting, and projecting the shapes.
Surfaces
Create and edit 3D surfaces and solids by creating primitives or editing existing curves and surfaces.
PolyNURBS
Create polygonal surfaces that can easily be converted into NURBS surfaces.
Modify
Create new objects by manipulating and modifying source objects.
Direct
Quickly modify objects that are not a part of Construction History.
Deform
Deform one or more objects with respect to an axis.
Analysis
Analyze curves and surfaces, import simulation data, or access the Design Table and Variable Manager.
Dimensions
Dimension a line, edge, bounding box, angle, and radius/diameter in order to create objects which must fit predefined dimensions.
Drawing
Create detailed 2D drawings of the selected parts of a complex 3D model from multiple perspectives.
- Sheet
  Create a drawing sheet. You can select a predefined paper size or define a custom width and height. You can also specify the projection type, frame type, and frame margins.
- Table
  Create a title block to display information about your drawing.
- View Set
  Create view sets of the selected parts of a model. Each view set displays a parent view of the selected part in the orthographic view and child views in the orthographic or isometric view.
- Section View
  Create a section view of selected objects in the scene, cut across a plane which you can reposition.
- Detail View
  Enlarge part of an existing view to show details.
- Add Dimensions
  Add linear, angular, radial, and ordinate dimensions, as well as annotations. You can change the dimension style to meet industry or project standards.
  - Linear Dimension
    Create and edit a dimension line directly between two points. This measures the shortest distance between the two reference points.
  - Angular Dimension
    Create and edit an angular dimension between two points, given a center.
  - Radial Dimension
    Create and edit the radius/diameter dimension of an arc, circle, or the curvature of a NURBS curve, given a center and a point.
  - Ordinate Dimension
    Create a reference dimension.
  - Annotation
    Insert a general annotation. This is useful for labeling the parts of your model.
- Print
  Print your drawings.
- Preferences
  Define preferences for drawing sheets.
- Export DXF/DWG
  Export a drawing as a .dxf or .dwg file.
Rendering
Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Animation
In Inspire Studio you can animate an object or group and the camera. There are two methods of animation: key frame animation and path animation.
Die Design
Create a draw die in Inspire Studio that you can export to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
Custom Plug-ins and Scripts
You can use C++ and Python to add custom operations and file formats.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Controls
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
SpaceMouse Support
Inspire Studio supports 3Dconnexion's SpaceMouse.

Radial Dimension

Create and edit the radius/diameter dimension of an arc, circle, or the curvature of a NURBS curve, given a center and a point.

On the ribbon, click the Drawing tab.
Click the Radial Dimension icon.
Select an arc or circle.
Click to place the dimension.
Select a dimension style in the Control Panel.
- Leader: Choose from None, Arrow, Circle, Dot, Slash, < >, or Triangle.
Right-click and mouse through the check mark to exit, or double-right-click.
