Hi Michel,

I was thinking "Ortho views only" would have the same behavior as current ortho views. But there could be additional settings to limit it to just one ortho view. Maybe:

Show in: "All views", "Ortho views only", "3D view only", "Top view only", "Front view only", "Right view only".


> Would there be a "View" property of a Dimension that makes it belong to a view ?

Yes this would be a setting for a dimension to be displayed only in certain views so you could control generating a multi-view PDF file better.


> Would it be interesting to have that script included in the dimensions Pane ?

Yes that seems like it would be good.

They are selected when the command ends so you can position them using Transform > Move or dragging them. Maybe there could be an option to generate it inside a rectangle with a specific object name similar to how a title block template could work.
