    Just discovered a "different" way to create shaft ring grooves. On a plane outside the diameter of the shaft draw your groove "rectangle" past the dia of the shaft then do a cut offset from surface of the shaft for the depth....voila.

    Change drawing view notes

    Is there a way to change the view notes are attached to? I'm revising some drawings that seem to have had all notes placed with only one view (focus) activated at the time.

    Multiple lines for custom prop desc.

    Whats the best way to do multiple lines for say a drawing title in custom props? I've seen a tip that you can type ALT-0010 after the text and it will give a second line. This way seems a little hard to control.

    Inserted excel sheet size.

    Trying to insert a tabulated bom excel sheet into a drawing. How do I increase the size of the excel sheet horizontally to show more columns. Dragging it down to show all the rows doesn't seem to be a problem.
