__First, I want to add to the point that Stefan made: There are conventions in drafting that must be followed if everyone is to have the same understanding and the man in the shop is to know exactly what the designer intends. There is also the matter of providing information that fits the machines, otherwise the machinist will have to do a bunch of trig to convert what is on the drawing to what the machine requires; e.g. Cartesian vs. polar coordinates.
__Something that isn't quite right is the way that small angles are shown. In the case of an acute angle (e.g. 5-degrees) the number cannot go inside the angle, as it is done with a larger angle. Currently (unless I missed the option) we can only show the obtuse angle, which is not the way it is usually done. To correctly show a small angle requires a different structure, which I guess is something to be added later.
__The problem that I'm having is that the numbers are not tied to the model, but to the screen; that is, when I zoom in or out the size of the number remains the same on the screen, but the dimension lines and the rest of the model get larger or smaller! What am I doing wrong?
