Styles & dimension wish
-
It would be great to be abble to Edit Dimension (font size & arrow type) in the Style window.
what do you think ?
-
You can have some control over the appearance of dimensions under Window > Model info > Dimensions...
Certainly this is an area the developers are unlikely to touch in the near future as most of the development on dimensioning and annotation is now focussed on LayOut.

thanks Gaieus
I forgot about this window...
wouldn't it make sense it's part of the style window ?
I understand the LayOut issue, but... most of the time I skip that part.
80% of the prints is for the workshop, they don't care about the fancy presentationI only use LayOut for specific clients who want detailed presentation (and pay for the time spent producing such material)

Maybe it could indeed be part of the style settings just like some of the PhotoMatch settings have been moved there (then you could even have different dimensions styles assigned to different scenes in SU and not at model level) but do not forget about LayOut again; it was first introduced with SU 6 - along with the new style system - so the developer team may have already had the vision to eventually transfer all ("professional") 2D documentation to LayOut.
This may also belong to the area of business policy (to encourage pro sales even if they do not prohibit commercial work with the free version). Who knows. They also need to live on something...
