Hi!

I’ve a question about make a 2d drawing to add measures from a dwg.

There is a way to import the dwg and make a drawing to add some dimensions? Without make the 3D volumes, directly from the sketch.

Many thanks in advance!!

There is no Sketch Drawing feature in Shapr. You will need 2d CAD program for that.

I would get a 2d program like LibreCAD (free).
