@Thomas_Stuehle and any other frustrated drafting teacher out there...
In remote and hybrid learning environments, AutoCAD for the Web is a great help. I'll start by thanking AutoDesk for including access to the web version, as well as the full feature AutoCAD, in their program for schools. The portal for registering a class of students is nearly seamless and it's a pleasure to use the applications for teaching.
With that said, their are shortcomings with working with AutoCAD for the Web. By far the biggest annoyance is that even though precision has been set (to 1 decimal place for example) in the Settings->Units->Precision field, dimensions that are created show 4 places, which causes lots of problems with placing dimensions obviously. The only solution I have for my students is to have them use the Properties->Text Overide field to re-write their dimensions. This is a huge hassle.
So, if there's one thing I'd ask for to be improved upon in AutoCAD for Web, it would be a fix to this problem.
Thanks for a great product, and please continue to support education!
