You can use the 3D Text tool to put text on faces in the model. Keep in mind that it can add lots of geometry and bloat your model file. Or you can use the Text tool to add labels that have leaders anchored to faces.

When I tried that I was able to open my model file but only in read-only mode. I went to my File Explorer and clicked on it to open and was able to edit the model and save it.

Don't have any idea what I did to start.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!!

As Box wrote, lots of ways to do it. You could selected the edge of the hole and move it down, too.

Thanks, Dave!!

Have you tried logging in ?

It's usually a one time only requirement.

Use your SketchUcation membership name and password.

Once you have done it, then you should never get prompted again ?

If you want to draw accurate arcs/circles, tangents, intersections etc etc then you might try my 'True Tangents' - the tools in the script do various tasks, including giving you the true intersection cpoint[s] between a selected arc/circle and a line which you can then use for a replacement arc/circle and edge that will have proper intersections with the line...

Hi Ahr8tch, hi folks.

My answer given in Google groups at:

The Large Tool Set is an assemblage of the most used tools taken from the various Tool palettes. This set don't contain all the available tools.

My suggestion is to turn off this Large Tool Set and to turn on all the other Tool palettes that contain the tools that you normally use.

These palettes have a grab bar and they can be positionned around your model window to suits you needs.

Just ideas.
