How does AutoCAD determine development length?

The formula to calculate the developed length of a bend is: Developed length (DL) is equal to the centerline radius (R) of the bend times the angle (A) of the bend times 0.01745. The developed length for a 90 degree bend with a 40″ radius is 90 x 40 x 0.01745 = 62.82″.
