Thanks @Stephen! Worked exactly as I was hoping for. I do wish there was an easier way to toggle that ability on/off w/o having to go to settings but I'll take the win.

Is it possible to shrink the arrows down with line/text on dimension tool?

Thanks @Stephen. I just realized the arrows were shrinking I was just in a civil drawing (1" = 60') and the arrows just weren't gonna shrink any more and I figured since the text was shrunk down th...

Feature Request - Patterns for Area Takeoffs

Option for pages to inherit pdf file name, and rename multiple pages at once

+1 on this there have been a few scenarios where I have renamed files with four digits or leading zero in the thousand place. There’s also been some situations where I’ve had to bracket out buildin...

Hyperlink Improvements

Hyperlink Improvements

I prefer just the sheet # “A2.3” in this case as I’ll reference schedules, details, notes as separate bookmarks to that same sheet. The description isn’t needed for most of my cases.New window/tab ...
