Hi,
as far as I know there is no special "arc DME" function within the CDU, just like in the real plane (at least in the 737).
But you can easyly "build" an arc/DME procedure by creating your own bearing/distance waypoints (for example every 10° along the path of the arc) or put a disrance ring around your destination airport (by using the "FIX" function of the CDU) and follow this ring with HDG.
The first technique is also mentioned in Mike Ray´s 737 Checkride Manual. I did this several times for practice, and it works perfectly.Last edited by stefanloss; 03-09-2008 at 05:58 PM. Reason: ...

he's correct ...
to JWS: Imho, Stefanloss mentioned two different methods.
One creates waypoints and is flyable by LNAV, the other merely draws a circle around a fix on the ND, and you need to fly along its circumference, be it hand-flying or executing segments with HDG sel.
Cheers,Happy landings and always three greens !!

Well, to make things even more confusing, you could even build your arc and then hand-fly along it.

A lot less complicated procedure would be to just tune the DME and fly it by hand.
