Hi Zooen,

Glad to hear you got the plugin working.

It sounds like you're moving the view of the part to the world origin adding the dimensions, and then moving the dimensions and the part away from the origin. I hadn't thought of doing it that way.

I set up local coordinates using the CPlane tool which lets me snap the coordinate system onto the part.

For each view I have to set the local origin again. One problem with this approach is that there's a bug in my code and with some orientations of the local coordinates I get an error message, so maybe your method is better until I get a chance to fix that.
