Dimensioning in a Drawing: Intersection

2D plans Layout
1

I have a memory lapse:

In a SolidWorks drawing (SW2014), I don't know (if it happens !!) how to display the inside or outside intersection of my 2 edges of my sheet metal in order to be able to dimension it correctly.

Hello

You can find the option here:

Set the display style for virtual intersections in Tools > Options > Document Properties > Virtual Intersections.

Otherwise, here is the help pages for virtual intersections:

Otherwise, another little technique. You select your two segments, and then you go to "sketch, period". And presto, a beautiful point of intersection!

 

Edit: ho ba as in the 1st PL link in fact^^

It's true that the @Coin technique is faster if you only have to make one stitch!

Upgrade to 2015!

You'll love right-click=> look for the intersection.

@Frederic: Is that it, like in Inventor? He was still holding time:)

I wouldn't say, I've almost never used Inventor.
