Apparent Intersection
Apparent Intersection
(OP)
In drawings I have a end view of a profile. It is a filleted equilateral triangle. I need to dimension the height of the triangle. This dimension is from the base to the apparent intersection of the 2 sides.
In autocad we have a snap option called "apparent intersection", this enables us to grab this point easily.
Is there a option in Solidworks?
Thanks

RE: Apparent Intersection
In a drawing view (or sketch) select the two lines which intersect and then select the Point icon in the sketch toolbar.

I wish there was a way to bring in a dimension without this construction point

It doesn't have to be displayed as a construction point.
Go to: tools/options/document props/detailing/virtual sharps and chose a different display style.

That was a wonderful suggestion. This appears that this is exactly what I need. But, I cant view these points ( even when changed different pt style) on my drawings to use them for dimensioning.
Is there any switch any where?
Any comments?
Thanks

Though you have answered to my requirement.
I am figuring out if there is a way I can get all the virtual points automatically.
Just like temperory axis for round parts and fillet features.
