Re: tolerances?

Correct .... !

It's a machining specifiation usually, eg. in machining a round shaft to fit into a hole, the diameter might be given as " 2.9375" + 0.0000" - 0.0010".

WINDOW SHADE

I would find it very useful to have a window shade type operator to quickly open and close the 'Sheets' list with a double click in it's title bar. When this list contains a lot of sheets it obscures Object Data, Views, Styles panes. Trying to keep a little bit of these panes visible, to quickly cli...

Layer Colours

I can't figure out the correlation between a colour that I select for a Layer in Drawing Manager and the ones that show in the Pop Up palette when clicking on the colour box that is alongside the Current Layer name, in the bottom left corner of the HD window. A colour I have chosen from one of the m...

Constrain Angles

The option to have Shift constrain a Line at other than Vertical, Horizontal and 45º would be of immense help to me.
If the angle of constraint could be set as required then great but even just the option to set at 15º increments would be really nice.

Thanks, Peter

It's only easy to divide a foot by three or six because they are the easy divisions that are commonly chosen for that unit because they are what work well with it. If you are working in metres then you choose accordingly. Try dividing a foot by 2.5 or 5. Ask 10 people to show you a Yard and how many...

We have the same hodgepodger system here in Canada even though we have been officially Metric since the seventies. I grew up on Imperial but have to say that Metric is a lot more self explanatory and I wish that we could switch every body over at the end of work today and start out with a clean slat...

Good suggestion ! ..... I have just received some drawings with fractional inch dimension and metric in brackets all contained within the dimension line.
It looks good and is very useful in some instances.
