Hi all, i just thought i would share something just learnt this morning. Perhaps many out there already know this, but for those of you who do not, did you know you can rotate a hole axis in drawing mode? I wanted to create some angular dimensions rather than Cartesian, but was struggling. In the past i have just sketched lines, related them to the view & dimensioned accordingly. I thought there has to be a better way. I know there is a dtl config, radial_pattern_axis_circle that would solve the issue i had, but if set to 'yes' it becomes global, what if i only want to change one axis? Ok, this is what i found, show an axis for a given hole, in the Annotate tab select Attachment, select the axis to be rotated, you are then presented with some options (old menu manager, takes me back to 1996), bottom option 'Enter Angle'. Brilliant!! I have attached an image that shows my discovery. It won't change the world, but it just reminds me of how i still love this software after 19 years of use, how it still harbors secrets yet to be found.
Regards
John
