Labels for holes to point towards center of hole, labels not to overlap

Labels for holes to point towards center of hole, labels not to overlap

Ref. attached screen piic-labels for holes do not point towards center of hole, currently they snap to the hole contour.

 

Per atttached second screen pic-labels overlap, requiring extensive time of re-positioning-this may take hours for larger projjects.

 

Leader shall snap to the center of the hole, with distance equal to the radius of the hole.

sorry for initial post...

 

Thank you for this great idea. I agree that this will help producing cleaner drawing output and save time on your side.

We will take it in consideration for one of our next releases.

Something that has always really bugged me and restricted my productivity is the number of nodes for holes on drawings.

With the hole axes, there are 6 nodes:

When adding dimensions for example, it is easy to snap to the wrong node when working quickly.

For me, just one node  - in the centre - is plenty :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

 

I have asked for this on countless occasions over the last 17+ years.

 

I know with the "smart dimensions" and the associated "preferred for manual dimensions" snap there is just a centre snap, but it is impossible to edit a drawing with just this snap turned on.

Sometimes, the "preferred for manual dimensions" snap does not exist where you want it; or if using sloping dimensions you need other snaps to pick the alignment points etc.

...so generally I work with node snaps on.

 

Also, automatic hole labels always seem to anchor at the node on the edge of a hole, which is often on the "wrong" side of the hole.

Having the label going to the centre only would be far better for easy moving of labels - of course if using an arrow on the label leader, the arrow position should be automatically adjusted by the hole radius (to scale) so it sits on the edge of the hole, but should actually snap to the centre so when you drag the label position it will always look good.

 

This is really fundamental stuff - why the heck are we still waiting?

@DumitruBerteanu 

Thank you for implementing this idea,

 

similar to labels for holes, labels for parts need improvement too:
