Marked for drawings - Dimensions
(OP)
Is it possible to have this option switched off by default so that I have to select which dims I want, rather than the dims I don't?

RE: Marked for drawings - Dimensions
Dimensions can also be brought in "per feature" if that is what you want. Just highlight a feature from the view required (in the Feature Manager/Drawing Views panel) then Insert > Model items > Dimensions . The dimensions relating to the feature should be the only ones inserted.

1) It keeps the Insert Model Items feature working the same way as before. i.e. All dims will be inserted into the drawing view(s).
2) The majority of the dims placed in a model are needed in the drawing ... the way I try to model anyway.
I think I will find it easier to leave all the dims "Marked" until I complete the sketch & then RMB & "Unmark" the few I don't need, en-masse. Just means you do the work in the model rather than the drawing, which should help maintain the design intent if someone else is producing the drawings.

Does this acquaintance want the 'chute or do you intend to make him use it?
Either way I don't want an arm & a leg for it .... I already have those from the previous owner.

RE: Marked for drawings - Dimensions
I fully agree with you on your opinions about dimensioning.
The two departments which I deal with are costing and packaging.
Costings are only interested in the model (not the dims) and Packaging are only interested in the overall size of the part. This is why, when I email a part to be costed, there is no need for detailed dims.
I suppose that's what you get for working for a company based in Kansas.
Thanks for your help.

Something like that should be off by default....
One of the OTHER things I wish was changed on the default side of things is when you change a dim on a part/assem that has configs... i wish to God that it would default to "This Configuration" instead of all.. this bites more people in the bum than anything!

I changed my mind on the dimension default .. see my 3rd post ... I think it makes sense to have that defaulted to ON.
Absolutely agree with you on the config default though. I've fallen into that trap too often (and still do).
