Function Description:

This command is used to create jogged dimensions for selected circles and arcs. DIMJOGGED measures the radius of the selected object and displays the dimension text with a radius symbol in front of it. The origin point of the dimension line can be specified at any convenient location.
When the center of a circle or an arc is located outside of the layout and can not be displayed in its actual position, users can create jogged radius dimension for it. The origin point of the dimension can be specified at a more convenient location called the center location override.
