Forcing point-to-point dimension to be aligned rather than horizontal/vertical
I'm trying to create a drawing of an object I've modelled. One of the key dimensions is the distance between two points along the angle that joins them. I can't use the dimensions of the line joining them as there's a cut-out that splits this line. If I try to do a point-to-point dimension in the drawing, it wants that…

Hole diameter precision in drawing hole table
The hole table properties allows setting the hole location precision to 3 digits, but there's no option to set the hole diameter precision. I can make the hole diameter precision 3 digits in the table by setting the drawing default to that. I would prefer to use a drawing default of two digits, otherwise I have to…

Where Used functionality progress?
Hi there, I have been looking for any progress on "Where Used" functionality (to remove the need to manually associate the part/assembly and drawing numbers) but haven't found anything since last August. Does anyone know of any updates on this? Thanks in advance. Tom

Force decimals in drawing dimensions to show which tolerance it has?
Hello, Is there a way to force the display of decimals in a dimension in a drawing: ex: value is 30mm. with +/- 0.005 Default tolerance for dimensions with 3 decimals is set to +/- 0.005mm How can I display 30.000 without having to force the value to 30.000- then it is underlined (overidden value) Displaying 30.000 means…

Drawing Automation For Configured Parts/Assemblies?
Any tips or tricks for speeding up and/or automating drawings for configured parts and assemblies? One way would be the ability to insert the configuration table (in case that you use classic method of single table driving everything) + labeled dimensions that relate to the config table columns. Seems like there's an…

Drawing View Labels for standard views?
I read an old update that stated "Optional view label and/or view scale label notes for all views". But I don't see the View Label option for standard views (only the Scale Label option). The View Label option is available for other derived views (section, detail, etc.). Am I missing something? I rely on this for many…

Is it possible to update a drawing to an updated format/template without recreating the drawing?
I have updated my standard company formats/template. I would like to update my drawings to use this new format/template. I can't seem to find a way to do it without having to recreate the drawing and selecting the template when I create drawing. thanks

Why do I lose other dimensioning options when changing base dimension value in drawing
I am dimensioning a drawing. If I use the 'part value' then I have options to set other units, GDT, etc. However if I change the dimension value resolution (in my example .714 -> .7140) then I lose all other options (they are all greyed out) (FWIW I'm using the web app on Firefox)
