Drawing Dimensions - asking for a better way - a radius on an arc

john_hauck

Question:
I created a barrel - 14mm maximum diameter, 10mm diameter at the ends.
On the left side of the barrel, I added a 3mm radius (parametric step after the revolve).
The dimensions on the drawing are not really helpful with ugly numbers like 11,53mm and 5,82mm.
I think this would be easier if the "Virtual Sharp" would work with one side being an arc.
How can I do better with the current version of OnShape?

Add a sketch with the point/extension lines/other annotation in the part studio, then show that sketch in the drawing (right click -> show/hide -> sketches -> select the sketch)

We also have an improvement on the books to include arc entities in the definition of virtual sharps in drawing views.  Something we certainly want to deliver on.

Alnis, you never cease to impress me. Someday I would love the honor of buying you a cup of coffee.
