Notch

Use this function to draw a notch in a corner formed by two straight lines. The notch is created at the intersection of the selected lines in accordance with the specified dimensions.

The order in which the lines are pointed affects the positioning of the notch. Before confirming the notch settings, you can easily interchange the notch dimensions using the dialog box functions.

If the 2D Constraining Manager is enabled, dimension constraints and coincident constraints are connected to the line forming the notch.
