Rick, that's cool and it will be used a lot but I've been taught that I'm suppose to use my model dimensions in the drawing. How does it work if you have mostly model dimensions and then add a few other generic dimensions? Does the sapcing still make all the previously model dimeneions move as well?

great job,

Thanks Ricky! Great post! Those dimensioning enhancements look good, especially the dimension pallete. One thing I really like about it is the ablility to easily place text in front of the dimension. It has been such a pain all of these years to have to precisely pick the area in front of the <DIM> in order to place text in front of it. Way too tedious.

Did they fix the way the centermarks size? From the first releases up to around 2001 Plus, the centermarks would always stay the same size in relation to the DRAWING reguardless of what scale the model was on the sheet. Since then, the centermarks have scaled in size in relation to the scale of the model which is not correct. For instance, if your drawing template has your centermark size set to a default of .125" and your part is scaled at 1:1 on the sheet, then your centermarks will actually show the correct size of .125". But if your part is smaller and needs to be scaled to 4:1 on the sheet, then your centermarks will show as .5" in relation to your drawing and you have to change your default. If you create a detail view of 10:1, your centermarks in your detail view will be 10 times larger than they should, so you have to manually change each centermark to look correct. This has been such a pain especially if you have drawings with multiple parts of varying sizes. A long time ago when I used to do drawings by hand, you would never change the centermark size from one view to the next. Keep in mind here that I'm talking about the Mark size, not the extended lines.

Hi Jason,

I ran a little short on time to check this out, but I assure you I will investigate this and let you know what I find out. When I do, I'll leave a reply.

Thanks for reading!
