      Hi !
      It would be nice to develop dimension tools in SU !

      • Continue dimension tool
      • Diameter and radius dimensions
      • Dimension text position (to move text where you want)
      • Different dimension styles
      • Etc...

      No ruby masters can develop these scripts without recreating the initial dimension script... Quite difficult !! The dimension entities are inaccessible via ruby...

      Frenglish at its best !

        Hi Matt,

        From your recent posts I see that you wish to develop SU via ruby and concentrate your wishes around this but in this particular post you opnly mention it at the end. Anyway, what I want to say is that radius and diameter dimensions already exist in SU.

        Sure angular dimension does not (natively) and there could be a lot to develop / enhance in this field.

        Gai...

          I totally agree with you. the dimension tool as it exists is flexible enough.

            Not on a component... Like all dimension tools except points to points dimension... I work exclusively with components/groups. I think it's a big problem.

            I don't think so... For example, it's impossible to move a text from its place... I have to move all the dimension !!
            I use very often these tools for production, and it seems to me that they are a little lighter... πŸ˜‰
            But it is my opinion! πŸ˜„

                  Being able to move the dimension text would be helpful; I've been doing some work in Layout and it can be a time-wasting pain to get the blasted text in a visible place.

                  Better yet - for my current purposes - would be for the dimensioning to be done in Layout and not in the raw model. I
