Hello, Hoping there is someone out there with experience using the inbuilt Flatshot token (not the autocad command) to produce 2D product drawings. I have a tabletop product that is made up of smaller tops joined together. Each smaller top is a subassembly.Freelance Drafter/MV engineer
I have seen a lot of fellow drafters/engineers advertise their selves here on the community page and I was wondering how do you go about that? I was thinking of doing it my self as a side job and earn some extra income. Any advise, wisdom or knowledgeFEATURE REQUEST: DRAW2DHATCH 2D Elevation Token

How can you rename library materials in such a way that the new names show up in existing projects?

Our project list is taking too long to load and we have track it down to large overheads associated with Toolbox expanding every category in our list. If this expansion was not occurring I feel the process of opening the project list would be about 5-10 second faster everytime. Is there anyway to turn off the auto-expand for the categories in the project list view? If someone knows a bit about this one would be great to discuss.
