Hi,

I am using spaceclaim for quite a while now, Id like to say its a decent pre-processing tool but it seems lacking some basic functionality even an outdated tool like DM has.

Maybe its just me and I'm too old to learn a new CAD tool, but I assume such a tool will have the most basic CAD tool functionality - creating dimensions and constraints within a 2D sketch (not a drawing, a sketch from which to build a 3D feature). I am looking for this functionality for some time now and can't find it. It makes creating basic geometries a true nightmare, something basic for a pre-processing tool such as building a simple boxed fluid volume adjacent to an existing surface takes forever with workarounds I found to the basic functionality of sketch dimensioning and constraining.

Am I the only one? is this functionality in there and I just can't find it?

Your help is much appreciated.
