FEATURE REQUEST - INSPECTION DIMENSION RACETRACK/BUBBLES FOR NOTES IN DRAWINGS
This is something that is needed all the time on med device drawings. I know you can make notes that have various outline shapes, but none of the available shapes match the CTQ racetrack that all of our industry recognizes. Below is what one of my engineers did as a workaround. He manually drew 2 lines and then connected them into an inspection racetrack with splines. But this is time-consuming and tedious. Solidworks and Creo both offer this - please give us the ability to create a racetrack around a note. Please also allow for changing the color/line thickness of the racetrack to help it visually stand out to our manufacturers.
Even better would be a custom sketch palette of annotations that users can create, share within the organization, and then apply within sketches or within drawings consistently. Common use cases are brandmarks, CE marks, and other shapes that frequently need to be applied to engineering drawings in the med device industry.
