So we need to know the smallest diameter of the filleting/chamfering tool which defines the smallest radius for the cut-out edges/corners.

If the cout-out corners should stay quite sharp, I would do it like this:

There are tools to chamfer the far edge of a through-hole, if you have enough cash.

Did you reset the config? Yes, I renamed user.cfg and FreeCAD created a new one. All arrow heads were visible, with or without grid enabled. How did you find it? I started editing the preferences with sketcher open and grid disabled. When I hit apply after switchng from One pass to Backface pass i ...

Found it!
A property in the preferences hides the arrow heads.

Preferences - Display - 3D Viev - Transparent objects:

- One pass: Arrow heads all visible
- Bacface pass: Hides arrow heads.

Can you confirm?

Somehow my contributions are misunderstood. I DON'T NEED AND DON'T SUPPORT NO (watch this double negative for emphasise) NEW DIMENSIONING TOOL IN SKETCHER! :evil: Sketcher has all I need to highlight diameters where I am too lazy to do simple maths. I can devide by 2 or double a value or use express...

... The concept is to highlight important diameters. You don't need to use circles on every dimension representing radii or diameters. A simple length dimension does the job, maybe in connection with an expression. As shown in your second picture. But if you know what you are doing you don't need h...

I don't like the idea of adding (construction )circles... So if it is added please make a property that i can put them off - They don't need to be added, they are already there! You have to use them manually. - It is a feature you can use right out of the box in any version. - This way half dimensi...

C'mon it's a sketch not a drawing...

If you use arcs, dont't forget to lock their end points or the sketch will be under-constrained.

I observed a strange behaviour: :shock: When I toggle the sketcher grid off, some arrow heads disappear: ArrowHeads1.png ArrowHeads2.png It looks rather like a bug than a feature. 8-) Is this a known issue?

I still think construction circles are the better solution within the sketcher: ConCirc1.png ConCirc2.png As you can see, some arrow heads disappear if I deaktivate the grid. :shock: Is it a known issue or just this version?
