Is it possible to find the radius within a curved tube? Most callouts I've seen show the radius in the center of the tube and I'm not sure how to accurately find that. Thanks.
I'd probably set my origin at the center of the tube curve, rotate the tube to where I'm looking straight down it, measure a tube OD, rotate my alignment again, measure another tube OD and so on and so forth.
Assuming that your looking down on your sketch from + Z then:
1: I'd level on the vertical tube OD,
2: Do an offset on something convenient that will make +Z come up out of the paper.
3: Move my origin to the tube curve center
4: Measure my first tube OD of the curve.
5: New alignment that rotates about +Z
6: Measure the next tube OD of the curve
7: Back to step 5 until I've made my way around the tube curve.
8: Construct the Tube Curve circle from the tube OD circles
