2D Drawings keeps getting better! In this release, we added a few more top community requests:
New: Detail views are here. Highlight important parts of your 2D Drawings at a different scale, so you can add dimensions and other annotations more effectively.
Improved: Now you can change the line width settings from the 2D Drawings property sidebar to optimize highlights or to adjust print quality.
Improved: It’s now much easier to work with fractionally formatted inches and feet in the numpad.
Check out these latest changes and let us know what you think.
It would be good to see the addition of separate control over lines that are cut by a section line and those that are in the background. This is a usual convention for presenting section drawings.
I’ve also mentioned previously about the ability to turn of the hatch lines in section views.
I’m happy that you are excited about the Drawings improvements. These are all items on our radar coming distributed over the course of the year.
Actually, the ability to create a Detail view from a Section view is already in progress and will be added with the next release. A sneak peek from the build I am testing right now:
Just a few notes that would help me and hopefully others to make our drawings more clear and precise:
Ability to snap centre to endpoint/midpoint etc with detail view.
Ability to move the Annotation Marker as opposed to it being at a set angle and distance to the image.
Ability for dimension arrows to snap to each other.
Ability to change font size an weight in the title block
Ability to change which side of angle you want the dimension to be shown.
Ability to choose a hypothetical angle (to show a chamfer at 45º as opposed to 135º etc)
I understand that there is a lot of work behind what appear to be small changes and that most of what I mention may not be on the roadmap, but hopefully one day they will be.
