The bottom of the shaded preview of the flange is offset by the bend radius.
Solidworks virtual sharp sheet metal.
This is shown in visual 3 below.
I have been doing this since before 2014.
Every little improvement helps when it comes to timely sketching.
This is called a virtual sharp in solidworks and is a useful reference in drawings and sketches.
Dimensions and relations to the virtual intersection point.
The top of the shaded preview of the flange coincides with the top of the fixed sheet metal entity.
Pick the two edges and then hit your point command on the toolbar.
The two selections you would need to make are the two lines that would create the vertical sharp if extending out to the virtual sharp no particular order while holding down the ctrl key.
Some people may call it a theoretical sharp.
We will learn sheet metal basic features like base flange edge flange sketched bend and extruded cut in solidworks sheet metal.

Solidworks quick tip virtual sharps in your dimensioning workflow.
This will put a point at the virtual sharp.
Oh and i am doing a sheet metal drawing.
Dimensions and relations to the virtual intersection point are retained even if the actual intersection no longer exists such as when a corner is removed by a fillet or chamfer.
A common task for us is dimensioning to a point that exists where two edges lines arcs and or curves would intersect if those entities were extended.
You have to insert the point at the virtual sharp and then you can dim to it.
The third would be selecting the point icon in the sketch menu.
A virtual sharp creates a sketch point at the virtual intersection point of two sketch entities.
Thats what i needed.
