    CustomMade revision symbol

    Hi, Is it possible to add a custom made revision symbol. I want to have a symbol other than the ones included in the revision symbol selection and therefore I choose "none" and then insert a block with my symbol. Can this be done more easily? Thanks, Magnus

    Drive dimension using custom property

    Hi, I know this has been up here before, but i can't figure out how i works. I want to be able to specify a value linked to a dimension using custom property. My plan is then to control dimensions in several parts using task schedular thru custom property. Thanks!

    Autogenerate drawings

    Hi, I have an assembly with around 200 parts. Is there a way to autogenerate drawings from all these parts? I really don't want to generate drawings to each and every one. The parts are generally the same, only with small dimensions-differences. Is there a way to include autodim aswell? Thanks!

    Make a tube/pipe/cylinder from a line?

    Hi! How can I make a pipe or a cylinder from a line? Have made a framework for a suspension on a car with lines and want to give them radious. There must be a easy way to do this. Or does I have to use the sweep or revolve commands? //Magnus
