Hi PatCouture, I found workaround. export it to dwg, open dwg in SW. copy/paste required view back to original file. It is not direct but not bad. Thanks for help everybody. Bhavesh

CorBlimeyLimey, I want to quickly alter assmebly drawing to show better designs. I can always print & sketch over it but it won't be to scale & sometime confuse people in meeting. (crossing out line etc..) It takes lot of time to change all parts in 3D to show various design enhancement...

In SE, right click on view & select "Convert to 2D View" from pop-up menu

After making drawing, I want one view as non associated to Parent 3D part.

I have migrated from Solidedge. How can I convert a part view to 2D entities which I can edit with 2D commands like trim, extend etc.. I don't care if it looses the association with 3D part.

Is there any way to create custom surface finish symbol? Where (in which file) existing surface fnish symbols resides? Can I modify like GTOL.sym?

Hello, I am back to SW after 5 years, switching from SE ST3. Since it has been long, I need to get myself oriented to UI. my first Q in part, I'm trying to create anglular sketch dim. By clicking only innclined line, linear dim starts by default, how can I convert to angular? Thanks Bhavesh

thread562-207060 I faced similar problem & floated question in above thread, without any luck.

"If you are applying dimensions to one dp then what does it matter if it's 10.3 or 10.5 - you will still have to measure to the same accuracy to check it" It is different numbers 10.3 & 10.5 and you think it doesn't matter!!!!!!????? Drawing Readed look at drawing NOT model.

Ya CorBlimeyLimey you are right, you repeated what I meant to say, even BAD software like AutoCAD do good things (like rounding-off capability)

I am creating drawing of a plastic component from an imported model, which I scaled in SE for shrinkage allowance. It is combursome first to change 100s of features & dim. in historyless model. This is to me is a so basic thing, can be required at number of cases. I know 10 years ago AutoCAD...

It is irritating that SE is unable to do this kind of basic stuff. feeling handicapped!!

This might be out of subject, but for same command "rectangle" When selecting point on exisitng element as a corner, It doesn't create relationship by default. I have to relate it with "connect" after drawing rectangle.

How to round-off dim values to specific least counts (not to number of decimals) For ex. if least-count set to 0.5, then Actual size Rounded-off Value 10.3---> 10.5 10.2---> 10.0

Thanks m4rc, This works. Simple but very useful solution.
