Difficulty dimensioning edge of hole
Difficulty dimensioning edge of hole
(OP)
I have a tapered hole in a part. It is controlled by the large diameter at the outer edge and the taper angle. However, the outer edge has a radius on it since it is a cast feature.
I can't dimension the diameter. The dimension picks up only the tangency points of the radius. I tried to add a virtual sharp but could not find a menu item. I might have to add some points instead and then hide them after adding the diameter dimension.
Is there an easier, or right, way to do this? Thanks.

RE: Difficulty dimensioning edge of hole
What about inserting a center mark and dimensioning to it?
Or you could go to the feature in the feature manager and select "Show sketch".
Insert your dimension and the re-hide the sketch..

The downside - if your part changes - you have to change your drawng sketch manually.
Sometimes we can't have it all...

To add a virtual sharp in a drawing file just control select the two edges and hit the point button.
