??

I don't have the problem to create a radius. Thats not the subject!

The 2 sketches in your file do not match exactly. Maybe that is the cause of the inaccuracies you perceive.

Well observed. But this is only due to the fact to quickly create an example for the forum.
Unfortunately, this totally misses the subject of this thread.

I must be dumb because I don't understand anything.

But you have mentioned the accuracy issue. How can that suddenly be irrelevant?

But anyway IMO you have already received a usable answer:

Maker wants to dimension the unfilleted corners of the created shape (I think...). The topic title ("asymmetric radii") is confusing.

You can also use techniques demonstrated in this topic (you need to check the mentioned setting):

Note: I have used Sketcher_CreatePointFillet to create the sketch fillets and then changed the points to 'normal' geometry.

@Roy_043

Thank you very much for your support.
The presented sketcher function constraint-preserving sketch fillet is completely new for me.
Never heard about that functionality. I assume which is completedly new.

I saw in your datafile 2 vertexes.
Where do they come from and by what are they generated?

What would it look like in the opposite case?

Let's assume that I have, for example, an imported *.dxf file where only radii (instead of corners) are included.
The intersection points (of the corners) i.e. tangents are not dimensioned. 8-)

What possibility would you see to quickly (automatically with a few clicks) get the intersection points of the edges?

Any recommendations?
