Good morning. I am creating a flash tray using a miter
flange. Itis working out pretty well except for one thing of
course. From the center of my radius corner to the end of the
side Iam creating with the miter flange is 1.3438 and that is what
it issuppose to be, except that is using a 90 degree bend. I am to
add 9degrees to that bend. Now it is showing 1.418 as my dimension
fromradius center to end. Does anyone know an equation to use so I
willknow how much shorter to make my side to compensate for the
angle,so I end up with the correct length side, which is the
1.3438. Hopethis is clear. I am really struggling.
you might want to change your method of dimensioning.
radius does not need to be drawn (sheetmetal feature will control).
for sheetmetal, dimensions are typically taken from apex (virtual sharp).
usually dimensions are taken from outside, but not always.
just add or subtract material thickness in dimension modify box.
to get an apex point on a drawing, ctrl+select 2 intersecting edges, then select point from sketch toolbar/menu. there are some options for the virtual sharp display under document properties.
i attached an example, i think it might be close to your description.
