Hi smf, ... thank you Husky for your feedback, it's much appreciated! :D You are more than welcome! ...one thing is very important if you modify existing blocks: never mirror lines on TR_END layer Yes - that was one thing on my learning curve.

Hi - I will test the current version and will be back to you soon.

Hello Clive, First of all .... For example if I draw a line of 3.27mm what is that in inches, using an online converter tells me it's 0.146inches ... you should use an other online converter. :lol: :lol: :lol: 3.27 mm = 0.12874 inch :wink: Second of all ... ...but how could I have got this informati...

Da gingen meine Ahnungen ja in die richtige Richtung - so gut konnte keine "Online Übersetzung" sein!

Hi smf - thanks again! I will play around with the new version ....

The reasons being: - performance for drawing with lots of dimensions - undesired / accidental snapping to dimension line end points with a small gap to an endpoint (you almost always want to snap to the edge end point, not the dimension ...

I don't know why but now it's working. Maybe I did something wrong ....
Sorry!
