The Gauge Widget gallery is located beneath Shape Widgets and Multi Shape Widgets.
Select a Gauge Widget from the gallery and drag it to the page. In this example, we will use the Ring option.
The references used for Ring can also be applied to the Half-circle and 270 gauges.
Click on the widget to bring up Edit Mode and display the toolbar for editing options.

Direction arrows - rotates the gauge widget clockwise or counter-clockwise
Thickness - increase or decrease the width of the gauge widget
