How can I add a auxiliary view to a drawing in Shapr3D this is something that really needs to be available.

Thank you

You cannot. You can add an image. Could you do something with that?

Add it to “Feature requests”.

This is not a good answer, how could auxiliary views not be a part of the drawing mode. Auxiliary views are standard practice when making drawing on and Cad software. And when you said to add a image theirs one big problem you cannot dimension to a image. I have a model where there is a hole on a surface that is at a angle and without auxiliary view command it is impossible to dimension those features. I often wonder if the Shapr3D team have any intensions of becoming a top level Cad Software because we keep hearing that great things are coming BUT they never show up like ASSEMBLIES and many other improvements to the Drawing Mode of Shapr3D I really don’t know how long I can keep being promised improvements that never happen.
