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 w…

Hi, At first I got excited about the mention of a detail view but then realised it can’t be applied to section views. I hope this ability will be added as generally in architectural work (and I imagine in many other uses) detailed views are usually section details. Thanks
