Sections through an Island?
When doing an island with die walls is there a way to associate products to something to create sections or do you typically have to just manually create section planes and the likes to get the desired effect? I saw another post suggesting using extremelyRedraw at a large scale
Hi community, how can I redraw select rooms or even an entire project at once to match a large scale change? Such as a change of pulls on an entire building?Set 2D Instructions Section Dims permanently to scale at 1" = 1' - 0"
I am wondering if anyone has been successful at having their Section Dims only show up in one Annotative scale while drawing in model space at 3/4"? Can it be done in 2D Instructions? Always need to manipulate the scale list to achieve the scale I wantDrilling disappearing when adding a route
Can someone please see if they can work out why, when i add routing out holes into a panel, it turns off the drilling for my divisions when i go all the way through, but if i stop it 0.1mm short like rebating it, the drilling stays attached & doesn'tHelp with Door and Drawer Front Detail Report

I don't think I've ever wanted to create stuff for the CutParts Wizard or Edgeband Wizard. Since those two are shipped as "blank" wizards (I assume place-holders for future dev.) can we just have the Hardware Material Wizard be it's own icon/button?
