Drawing dimension not snapping correctly

BWENGUK — Wed, 21 May 2025 09:23:11 GMT

See attached video. For some reason, Fusion won't let me dimension to a point between two rads. This is normally fine, but in this case is not working. I've tried different types of dims and using the end point etc. Tried restarting, and creating new drawings etc.

You may not desire it, but you need to show Tangent Edges to get the dimension to work for you.

@jhackney1972I appreciate the workaround, but surely this is a bug? It allows me to dimension off of any other tangent edge without making them visible first. Why is this edge different? For example, where this R1 meets the flat face towards the flange. It shows no line without making tangent edges visible, but does allow dimensioning. I belive something has changed, as I am 99% sure you used to be able to dimension where one rad meets another.

I've just gone back and found a previous drawing where I have indeed dimensions where a radius meets a radius. Without turning on visible tangent edges. See below:

If I try to edit this now, it no longer lets me place a dimension there.
