Need ability to snap to drawing overlay

Need ability to snap to drawing overlay

Currently, only assets will snap to a 2D drawing overlay in a factory layout. We need the ability to snap to that overlay during other functions as well such as sketching or just taking measurments. This is VERY frustrating not having this ability.

Measuring is quite a key feature, we often need to modify assets according to the overlay.

Dear factory users,

 

Thank you very much for voting the requirement to let us know the priority of this feature.

We are now investigating the solution now. Per the requirement,the three enhancement we are considering:

  1. Measure the 2D DWG Overlay including the 3D asset to 2D dwg overlay
  2. Project 2D overlay into sketch
  3. Constrain the 2D DWG overlay with 3D assets

Thanks,

-Xuesong
