Anyone create Tab Pulls – ex: Mockett DP3
Has anyone spent the time and effort to setup and create Tab Pulls for doors and drawers? I am talking about the full setup of 3D parts, 2d drawings, and machining as well. I created the hardware part so we can select it and it shows on the reports but I want to go further and get the drawings added and even do the machining as well. I made the 3d part and 2d section/elevation but I am finding there are rotation issues now since these are back mounted and directional essentially. So, the setup

Missing Construction Line from SMT
Yesterday, I was working on a diewall using the Solid Modeling Tools. At the end of the day, I saved my work and shut down my machine. Today, part of the diewall is missing from the drawing and I can't figure out how to get it back. The diewall consisted of two construction paths because there are two section details, both a high wall section and a low wall section. When I saved and shut down yesterday, I had one of the products unchecked in the Tree View so that it was hidden. Today, I can't restore

Starter Spreadsheet For Solid Modeling
When you create a new product using Solid Model Analyzer, all the parts go into a blank spreadsheet that has only Height, Width and Depth. If you are a shop using formula driven materials that require local prompts to get the material information from, these new products do not work correctly. Can we get the ability to customize the spreadsheet that SMA uses by default for new items? This opens the door to many possibilities including having default draw tokens at the ready. Kind of like using
