Hello, I have been doing quite a bit modelling lately and in the process have been making a lot of drawings - and I think there are some improvements I can suggest. 1. In addition to the suggestions others have made regarding the BOM in this forum, I would like to request some customisation be built into it. In particular, and something that would be of value in my field, I would really like to find a way to include overall dimensions of components. 2. Improve the method of populating drawing sheets. Currently, even though I have a universal title and other bits of information automated to appear on each new sheet, I still must manually adjust position, font and size of the text specific to that individual sheet - which gets tedious when there are many pages to fill. 3. Set colour for lines in options. Currently lines show up the same colour as my objects, but I would prefer that they be black. 4. An option to set the graphics style for drawings that is remembered so that I don't have to keep switching to "Hidden Line Removed" for instance, every time I reopen a drawing sheet. 5. Ability to align text boxes. 6. Naming sheets. 7. Aligning dimensions. Sometimes they snap to other dimensions, but it doesn't seem to happen consistently - should I be doing something differently? 8. Control size of text for sections and details in options. 9. Set fonts universally in options, beyond a choice of two Spaceclaim fonts. All in all, I fine program that I am enjoying immensely and, as I gain experience, I am delighted to find new elements that are clever and useful to me. Certainly, others who have not used Spaceclaim are a little envious when they see the ease of operation for many features. My thanks to the Spaceclaim team!

Hi Pantechnicon,

 I've looked at your enhancements and sent them onto R&D to look into.  I had a few questions for more information:

 1.  I've added a an enhancement for this.  Were you looking for an X,Y,Z dimension or just mass properties and such.  Also what area are you in that you need this, rapid prototyping?

 2.  Could you send in an example that you have created showing how difficult it is to modify it each time.  The more information we have the better I can document the problem.

 3.  I think the best way to do this would be to use layers as you make a drawing sheet.  You can have a layer for dimensions, for lines, and annotations.  This will help you stay organized as drawings get cluttered.  Right now lines are colored by your active layer.

 4.  I've added that enhancement for development.

5 & 7.  I've added this as one enhancement.  Any ideas on how you would best like this implemented?

6.  I've added that enhancement for development.

8.  You can set the default size of text in the detailing options.

9.  I've added that enhancement for development.

 Please let me know if i've missed anything important, and any information you can add I will pass on.

 Best Regards,

Roman Walsh
