    SE V15 Is there a way to transfer the dimensions from a sketch directly into draft mode so they don't have to be all re entered again?? ... just something my buddy used to do in SW..... thanks...

    Simple STEP file problems

    Just wondering, in a large assy, can one show all construction surfaces without having to go thru each component?? There is no "show construction surfaces" when you RMB an assy or sub assy, only "parts..... one can easily miss one and this could take a long time...

    ST - V21 - V20

    So is it worth making the switch to ST?? We are on 15 now and it has served us well for what we do but we are starting to get into more complex sheet metal parts and are starting to notice limitations more and more.... How's the sheet metal option on ST? Thanks Tom...

    Simple STEP file problems

    thank you, thank you....... so simple but easy to have missed all this time.... I have always tried show all and activate but somehow missed that show/hide component section.... I will have to try this with a full size cabinet next.

    Edit break lines in draft???

    Is there any way of editing break lines in draft mode once you hit the "Finish" button??? I did a copy of an existing Draft and Assy and all that changed in the model were the hole locations.... of course, the new holes do not show up because they fall in the break.... Is there a way to move...

    Show All Names (ex: V6506)

    That was easy! Thanks David!

    Show All Names (ex: V6506)

    "You will need to create a new style for your callouts. By default your callout is probably using the built-in ANSI style. Create a new style called HOLE CALLOUTS (or anything that makes sense) and set the decimal places. Now apply this new style to your callout." How does one go about...

    Show All Names (ex: V6506)

    I do get that ribbon call out for regular dimensions but the decimal place pull down does not appear for hole call out dimensions.... any other ideas how to set the number of decimal places for a hole call out?? thanks

    Show All Names (ex: V6506)

    That's strange, so why would they have that option when you right click on a dimension? (Show All Names) What is this used for? Tom...

    one other thing.... what if I did not use a hole feature but 2 cut-outs to create the hole and C'bore..... Is there a way of doing it like I asked in the original post, by using the dimension "names"?

    Show All Names (ex: V6506)

    daaaaa... Thanks! that was easy... 1 other stupid question... the hole call out dimensions are at 2 decimal places, where do you change them to 3??? They are modeled at 3 places....
