Re: Is there an auto update on in context sketch/parts?
TLDR: No, there is not a way to live update the context.
Due to the current nature of context editing, one of my current rules for myself is:
- Stay away from in-context edits no matter what! Use configuration lists and configuration variables to drive things instead if you can.
- Never use in-context edits to drive other data, only static things.
- Stay within the part studio for small things like this that require live context changes, then eventually move to assembly if you need it.
Re: How to change the dimension to be place in horizontal way respectively ?
@Alex_Huang006 also note that the ISO standard drawing template you are using enforces this behavior for keeping the diameter dimension text parallel to the arrows. The ANSI standard provides the horizontal dimensions. For busy drawings consider also using the hole table function if there are many holes to place.
