    Reducing the amount of double clicking

    Hi all, My colleagues and I would like to be able to reduce the amount of double clicking we have to do. Particular culprits for excessive 'DC'ing are modifying feature dimensions. It would be nice to have a keyboard press to do this or something similar, but modifying dimensions is not a menu...

    Random cosmetic thread show/hide generator

    Hi everyone, Has anyone managed to find a way to disable this 'feature' in drawings. By this I mean set things up so thread annotations don't show up on the non-visible surfaces of drawing wiews. It's a real drag going through every drawing and hiding the ones that do happen to show up that...

    Adding text symbols in drawings

    Hi all, You know the text symbol box that pops up each time you edit a note in drawings? Does anyone know how to add more symbols to this? My company use this one symbol all the time and it would be easier to be able to add it to notes this way than through insert symbol instance. Cheers, Hayden

    Dimension witness line referencing centrelines not objects

    Hi all, Heres the deal; I've got a few plates to model and draw with loads of holes in them. By company standards I HAVE to dimension each of these holes using centrelines and standard dimensions (not ordinate or hole tables). Is there a way that I can automatically make the witness lines go...

    Suppress dimension extension lines

    I often have a need to suppress dimension extension lines after I have created the dimension. This means I can't use the sustem variable DIMSE1 (/2).
