Frustrations with drawing dimension tool.

I find the dimension tool in drawings really unintuitive, bizarre, and simply aggravating. If you're going to display a line on a drawing, it needs to be a selectable feature by the drawing dimensioning tool period. Regardless of it being a tangent curve on a face, or any other drawing feature. It should be selectable. Why would you want to limit the features that are selectable? Everything else in Onshape is so smooth and intuitive to work with. Dimensioning my drawings in Onshape is still a horrific and long process. If it's a performance issue, make a hot key that allows for deep selection when hovering over a line to limit the scope of the selectable point search feature. Honestly every single vector drawing program I've worked with has this figured out, but my $1200 a year program struggles with simple feature selection.
