Difficulty with dimensioning to virtual sharps.
Difficulty with dimensioning to virtual sharps.
(OP)
Howdy all,
So I have a dimension that is reading wrong because I can't pick up the virtual sharp. The probelm is the angle on the inside of the radius is very obtuse, close to 175°. If I change the dimension to 135° I can pick up the sharp and then change it back with no problem to get the correct dimension, but this solution will not work for a real drawing, because changing that dimension would break everything. Is there a way to pick up the virtual sharp on a very obtuse angle? I have included a couple of files to suggest the problem.

I also fond the key to creating the virtual sharps from this post:

O.k. hunting around and clicking randomly I found the point that it inserts. The problem is that the point is not displayed. At least not when I have Witness selected on Tools --> Options --> Document Properties --> Virtal Sharps. Changing this option to Plus or Star make it visible so I can select it.
Thanks for your help and sorry for doubting you.
