Adding Corner 'Marks' in Drawings?

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by tritonlogging, Apr 2, 2006.

  1. Quick question that I've run across:
    I've got several parts that have rounded fillets at their corners...
    but that start out as sharp corners before the edges get routered off.
    I've got drawings of the final shapes that I want (with rounded
    corners), but not of the square blocks (before routering).

    I'd like to create production drawings of the final block shapes with
    rounded corners, but I want to dimension in a way that makes producing
    the original sharp-edged blocks easy... SO I essentially just want to
    add 'marks' at the intersection of where the edges of the blocks would
    come together if there were not fillets. Right now I'm doing that by
    inserting a sketch point that is coincident with both edges... and then
    dimensioning to that sketch point.

    Is there a better way to do this? Seems like a fairly trivial thing to
    do... Am I missing something?... or is this a Enhancement Request?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    options under Virtual Sharps

  4. You can 'ctrl' select the two lines that form the corner and then click
    on the point tool under sketches.
