Drawing from fold out plan or dimension around corners

aarrgghh765 — Sun, 05 Jun 2022 18:23:18 GMT

I'm trying to create drawings for a design made from fabric. What I want to do is to be able to create a cardboard box style plan drawing where the highlighted blue face just appears as a rectangle I can then export to a drawing and dimension.

Alternatively, is it possible to add the length around the arc to the flat side measurements? I can only see a way to measure in angles.

Hi,

What really makes sense are edge and radius dimensions.

Appreciate the reply, in my case I needed to know the amount of fabric used around the perimeter, which this method does not give.

I swear I tried that but must have somehow missed it. I might try playing with the folded metal options as my use case is quite similar to sheet metal working.
