I have been looking for a tool that microstation has to label arc/curve data (length, radius, delta, tangent) but have yet to find anything. A lot of folks point to infosnap which is fine. My question is does MICROSTATION have a tool that will label arcs or curves, if so, what is it? I have create workarounds to get this information but it would be nice to have 1 tool that could do it in one process. I mean there is Label Line why can't there be "Label Acr/Curve" ?
Thank you
I would suggest having a look at Element Dimension tool as this has various options that can be used to "label" arcs or curves.
It may look like it is just going to dimension straight lines when you first select it but once you click on the arc or curve the icons change to these options.
There would also be the options under the Angular Dimensions tool to label things like the arc angle, length etc.
As well as the Radial Dimensions tools.
Here are also a couple of Wiki articles that show example of arc or curve dimensions.

You should also have a look through the Help Documentation under:
> Contents > Composing Drawings > Dimensioning
I hope this information is of assistance.
