Dimensioning to Virtual Intersections
Noob question - I'm glad to be pointed to the correct resource that addresses these kinds of questions, not having a lot of luck finding it myself -
On this shaft, as I am detailing distances and diameters, I'm using a lot of virtual intersections/sharps, but I'm curious how useful that is to a machinist? After all, I imagine he will run the tool along a smooth path, not hitting some of these intersections first, then smoothing later.

I'm also a little lost with the R500 section. It blends into a straight edge. As a designer, I don't care where the radius center is, it just must blend into the edge (and connect to the aforementioned virtual intersection).
