Hello,
I'be been using Creo Elements Direct modeling and Drafting for few years and just updated to version 19.00. I see some improvements, but Drafting still lacks some of the features that might be very handy in my opinion. One of those features is an ability to lock certain parts in the part browser so you could still see the geometry, but couldnt accidently move the part which is possible now if you're working at the top level. It is kind of dangerous as well because you may accidently drag one part (layer) for just a tiny bit and never see it and it may be critical. In other 2D cad apps there is an option to lock the layer so user cannot select it, move it, etc. Would be nice to see such a functionality in Drafting.
Another small, but annoying thing is a diameter dimension. Why is it so hard to make Drafting adding a diameter symbol to it automatically? It does it with the radius...
Thanks.

Hello,
To solve the second question:
"Why is it so hard to make Drafting adding a diameter symbol to it automatically? It does it with the radius...",
copy this line:
DA_DIM_DIAMETER ANSI END
in the file "customize.m" in the installation directory of Drafting.
