Sketch Construction lines onto drawings.

Sketch Construction lines onto drawings.

It would be good if you were able to sketch construction lines onto the drawings and be able to dimension these or to these lines.
Also you should be able to add centre hole references on the drawings.

Hi! Thanks so much for your suggestion.

 

We are planning on bringing sketching elements and center marks into drawings soon. There are some technical limitations involved in dimensioning to them but it certainly is an issue we're eagerly looking into. 

 

It'd be great to hear more about how you'd like to be using construction lines and how you see them helping you in your work. Did you have any specific scenarios you were thinking of?

 

All the best,

Scott

I'd like to add on to this suggestion. I use construction geometry a lot to "sketch in" dummy geometry in drawings. Dimensioning to them, as well as being able to snap them to the drawing structure would be very helpful.

 

In addition, being able to let a canvas input pull through to a drawing layout would be awesome. For instance, I'm currently drawing up a patio roof addition we're doing on the house. I have the rear architectural view of the house in a canvas, and i'd like to keep that in the view in the drawing with the solids over layed to show how the addition will work. As it is now, i have to re-build a dummy solid outline of the house to try and get the same point across.

 

This same thing applies to being able to paste in images to a drawing. If i have a dimension drawing but say a reference joint type i'd like to pull in as a reference image, it would be very nice to be able to just paste a picture into the drawing sheet.

 I'm attempting to show some "hidden" features on a drawing using dashed lines.  Any way to sketch lines on the drawing or show sketches from the model on the drawing would work. Ideally able to set line width, dash pattern, and snap to drawing features.

Construction geometry, including bolt hole circles, should be included in the drawing workspace for thorough dimensioning.

 

Perhaps this could be accomplished by having the ability to include a sketch from the design.
