Hi All,
Is it possible to control the folded radius segments? please see the attachment, in that one folded radius (R1400)is constructed manually and the other one from NX5.0. I tried to move the first segment which starts from the center point of the arc but couldn't. Please share your views in this.
Thanks.

Thanks John,

I feel, it looks ugly if I use such a big folded segments for the radius. That is why I created manual dimension using lines.

Note that you can move the segment with the arrowhead so that the break is not that large, but you can't move the segment attached to the 'arc center' so your options are limited.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
