Drawings - Dimension to Apparent Intersections With Arcs

[SBix26]

In the drawing environment, we can easily dimension to the apparent intersection of two lines, and Inventor automatically provides the the extensions.  This functionality is not available when one or both of the intersecting elements is an arc, leaving the user to laboriously create a view sketch with the required extensions and a point at the intersection, which can then be used for dimensioning.

I propose that the current intersection dimension functionality be extended to include circular/elliptical elements.

Agreed, this would be a great addition.

I agree something´s are not okay when dimensioning intersections.

Here I am almost 4 years later, struggling with the same problem.

Can't understand why autodesk haven't implemented this yet!
