Can we add the the Length & Width label back to the part image for labels?
I have screen shot of an image from a past label where the part image had the Length & Width Labeled “in line” with the part image to show the orientation of the part. This was great and key when you have parts where the Length & Width of the part is close to the same size and you are then asking an operator to guess and possibly rotate a part. How can we add this back into the image? The current “OptimizationResult.WMF” doesn’t include the dims but it does have the H-Boring. The “Parts.WMFStreamDimension”

How can I make a hardware page reflecting the hardware choices that are made in MV
We use a hardware page like the image below. I would like to know if anyone knows of a way that I can attach an image to a hardware item, as well as a title and description.
