This is probably a stupid question, but its giving me a hard time.

Is there a way to dimension from the intersection point of two lines in the drawing view? I mean being able to select two lines, and it will select the intersection point. I DON'T mean snapping right to the intersection point by hovering the mouse over it, I mean by selecting the actual lines/curves.

Any help is appreciated.

Create a point at the intersection of two curves and dimension to it.
 
Ctrl + pick the 2 lines, then on the sketching toolbar, use the Point tool. This will give you the "virtual sharp". Change the point by going to Tools > Options > Document Properties Tab > Detailing > Virtual Sharps

Ahh.. I was looking for a hotkey or something, similar to the way it is in other programs. I knew it would be simple though, thanks.
