Solidworks virtual sharp sheet metal.
Feel free to share with other solidworks users.
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.
Solidworks quick tip virtual sharps in your dimensioning workflow.
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.
I m presuming you are in a drawing and maybe in a sheet metal part.
I have been doing this since before 2014.
This is called a virtual sharp in solidworks and is a useful reference in drawings and sketches.
A virtual sharp creates a sketch point at the virtual intersection point of two sketch entities.
Oh and i am doing a sheet metal drawing.
You have to insert the point at the virtual sharp and then you can dim to it.

This will put a point at the virtual sharp.
Thats what i needed.
The top of the shaded preview of the flange coincides with the top of the fixed sheet metal entity.

The bottom of the shaded preview of the flange is offset by the bend radius.

We hope you found these tips helpful.

The third would be selecting the point icon in the sketch menu.
Every little improvement helps when it comes to timely sketching.
Bend from virtual sharp.
Some people may call it a theoretical sharp.

Creating virtual sharps.
Pick the two edges and then hit your point command on the toolbar.
