It seems strange, but the slideshare instructions from Donna and the nearly same ones from Simon, have an error.
All of the MidSpiral objects need to be shifted 3.75 cm to the left. (Or at least the Mid spiral.)
All of the 3rd portion of the spiral, the InnerSpiral, and related objects, need to be shifted 1.875 cm to the left. (Or at least the inner spiral.)
So that the 3 turns of the spiral can be joined, without gaps
So the second and third center boxes are not "concentric".
(They did mention that the spiral had to be aligned.)

Donna:

Simon:
https://www.slideshare.net/ozi/drawing-an-ionic-volute

Using Orient line-line, make copies checked, the moved MidSpiral objects were selected, the MidSpiral start and end used as Orient source line,
and the start and end of the OuterSpiral were used for the Orient target line, resulting in the InnerSpiral objects being created. (50% scale.)
The Groups, and Group names, used as the Orient source were duplicated in the Objects and Groups display, but can be renamed Inner...

A quick thought before bed:

Dimensions can be placed in a Group, or Groups.

Example:
Group1, all dimensions for subassembly1.
Group1, ChildGroup1, Horizontal Dims.
Group1, ChildGroup2, Vertical Dims.
Group1, ChildGroup3, Angles.
etc...
Maybe laid out better?

Could some such outline of Dimension groups be pre-formatted?
Or it is easy to set it up from scratch...(?)

Currently, a Dimension can be quickly assigned to a Group or ChildGroup.
Select a dimension, and then click on the Group or Child group to assign it to.

- Brian

A Dimension is a type of object, and behaves like geometric objects...

EDIT: Per Michael, Types can be used instead, see next post.

Hi Brian,

re:

It's certainly possible to do that, but if you want to access all dims of a particular type you can use the Types section of the Scene Browser to do that also, there are different sub types listed under Types > Annotations.
