I have made some sort of change in sketch settings to get these red arrows when invoking Rapid Dimension (see graphic). What do they mean, and how do I turn them off?
Thanks ahead of time.

Any secrets to re-attaching weld notes that lose associativity with the part it originally "touched"? It is greyed, and when I try to change the associated part, it remains greyed. I get tired of adding symbols over again. I have tried adding a 2nd leader, then deleting the original leader, but...
Can someone assist in cleaning up this tapped hole call out. As you can see, the placement of the Appended Text is less than desirable. The M8X1.25 is a feature call out, of course.

See attached. Hidden lines show in Model for tapped holes, but not in drafting.

Perfect. I experimented and found that defining face colors on the model, then making the isometric views fully shaded worked best. This worked really well.
Thanks!

Ideas on how to shade various surfaces (or otherwise identify)in isometric views (see graphic)? This shading is then noted on the drawing as referencing a particular class of surface.

CADKEY 1984 - 2D. First group to put the M&M/Marrs candy logo in CAD. Was doing board drafting, but was allowed to tinker with this new CAD thing on your own dime. If you got proficient enough, you could move to that full time. Did Skittles Phase III expansion and designed the drum to stamp the...
Why is it so difficult sometimes to dimension to theoretical sharps and holes center with center symbols? Sometimes it works well, and others not. Is there a sequence required. On current drawing, theoretical sharp is not selectable at all, as a first extension nor second extension...
I have an auxiliary view placed on the drawing that I would like to rotate to a particular orientation. Assistance?

Is there, or can one be created:
Shortcut to individual assembly constraints.
Would love to have a shortcut key or button directly to, say, the Concentric Mate?
Thanks ahead of time.

Thank you Jon. I did find the filter "connected curves" which will allow me to leave the bend lines as non-reference.
"As an aside ... you might get a more robust model by creating a sheetmetal 'tab' rather than using the extrude." Not quite sure the advantages of using "tab" in this instance...
Quite often I import Autocad DXF sheetmetal flat patterns, which include bend lines. I then convert the bend lines, in the sketch, to reference lines. I then extrude and convert to sheetmetal. Now I want to use those reference lines as bend lines, but "add bend" will not allow me to select...
