Anybody else find dimensioning sheet metal part more tedious then any other kind of part? My main complaint is that is easy to grab and inside edge when dimensioning a bend, especially when working with a large, thin part and the text of the dimension of the first line selected covers the line you are trying to select. Allowing dimensioning of preselected lines when working in a sketch is a pain but it would be a very useful when making drawings to not have to selected your second line though text, but I am not aware of any option to allow for this. What about a method or macro to dimension a bend without selecting two different lines? It would seem fairly obvious to me that when dimensioning sheet metal parts a user would want to dimension the distance to the next two parallel lines in a curve loop that are normal to a selected line and not the length of that line up to each bend radius which is almost impossible to measure on a physical part.
