Virtual Sharps troubles
Virtual Sharps troubles
(OP)
I have sketched a profile then revolved it. I then added fillets. Now I want to make a drawing of this piece and am having difficulties making my dimensions from the virtual corner.
The SW help section tels me to use "virtual sharps" by control selecting the adjacent lines and then selecting "point" ..... by magic a point should appear that I can use for dimensioning..
This is not working for me... in which condition should I be selecting these lines.. editing my sketch? (there is no fillet in this condition) In a cross section of my model? (I can select the lines but when I select the point button the lines de-select) In the drawing itself? (does not seem to work there either) Editing the feature? (the fillet was created by selecting a single corner.. formed by the revolving of the sketch)
Very confused.. any one able to point to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your time
