Thanks Tommy, Love the software. I know it’s been brought up several times, but are there any plans for dimensions and notes? We do a lot of rapid prototyping for fabricators, and attached is the way we are sending dimensions to the guys in the field. ![image0.jpeg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/3/33e638052238556e6986a48213b8e75fe79178f8.jpeg) F.

I would like this capability also. But I don’t work for Shapr — am only a user. So the powers to be have to chime in on this… Best, Tommy ---

Hello Sean, you can project a bodies edges to a plane, then - using the lock - you can lock in those dimensions. Here is a pic of the result (which you can export in DXF) Also a video tutorial on the process: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9y8l1icSUQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9y8l1icSUQ) ![IMG_F4D288ABBA67-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/e/efb8a9f605b8b07b2ac55a07b5158aadc0987651.jpeg) ---
