I have a sketch that I’d like to print out so that I can go make the part on my Mill. The problem is it seems that printing only results in printing the image with no measurements.
Is that it? I love this program but it appears actually using it to develop parts might be extremely lacking. For the money required to purchase a license can it really not print anything out?
Thanks,
Glenn

Yes, I believe that’s it — disappointing for the real world. There are some workarounds that others may describe.
But, all in all, this is a great application.
Best,
Tommy

Hi @Cybercrypt13, just to make sure I understand right, you are asking about dimensions in DXF/DWG export, right?
