Drawing and dimensioning of a sheet metal part for bending

Hello

I have a problem when I dimension a profile in order to show the bend dimensions, I can't take my dimension in the center of the bend radius?

In addition, during the MEP of a room with a number of repetitions and TAPPINGS, I see the notes of the M8x1.25 tapped holes, standard... and also the axes corresponding to the repetitions. This clogs up the MEP, how do I cancel it?

Thank you

Hello

Normally, the dimension is done either outside or inside to be able to better control the development and to achieve this you do dimension and then right click on the edge and there you can select intersection and you click on the other edge. For the rest, you have to delete them manually and manually put back the axes you want to have.

Some axes can be set to default or not.

Hello

To have the point of intersection of 2 lines there are 2 solutions.

1->Click on the dimension tool, come to the first segment, right-click and choose " search intersection " and click on the second segment and there normally he places the first dimension point, do the same for the second intersection and there he places the dimension.

2-> press ctrc (without letting go), click on the two rights you want to intersect, then in the sketch module click on point. And there he puts a point at the intersection, do the same for the second point and then dimension point point.

 

May the force be with you.
