How to put vertical dimension between tangent arc and straight edge in drawing mode?

[barryQWBNZ]

Hi all,

I'm trying to put dimensions on a profile in drawing mode (see picture below). I would like to put a vertical dimension from the bottom (straigth) edge to the tangent of the top arc. How can I do that in drawing mode? I know how to do it in a sketch but that doesn't seem to work in drawing mode.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @barryQWBNZ 

If you right-click before you place the 2nd part of the dimension, you are presented with "Snaps", choose Quadrant and select the top of the component.
