Electrode design customize

Has anybody some experience customizing Electrode design?
I would like to redefine existing electrode-head and drawing templates.
There are some PMI ordinate dimension objects (origin and dimensions) in the default head named blank_block.
How can I redefine them?
When I use Electrode design as installed, it adds dimension to the drawings not only the head, but the electrode shape.

The electrode positions in the table are from attributes, but there is only for example 3, not 3,00. How can I modify this rule?
Any help would be appreciated.

Some more question..
When I creates a new mset, I have to define the machining coordinate system: that's OK.
At the drafting step, it creates drawings about the templates, but the drawing views has not regard to the CSYS of the mset. So all drawing of every setup will be similar, only the electrodes changing. Is it really true?

When I create my electrode shape, create boundary box, extend, and so on, there will be some dimensions in the drawing about these shape.
If I add some more feature, and all the original faces of the box disappear, it seems, that the drawing wizard cannot add dimensions to it.
Could someone please explain, how it works indeed? Or has someone good experience with 'Electrode design' module?
