  1. Jim, Hi. Been reading lots of threads at the start of the new working year (sort of) to help streamline the small practice workflow. One thing that has always nagged me & I have never resolved is where to place dimensions. Opinion seems split, & 2017 might operate better so: dimension in annotations or on design layer? I prefer design layer for immediate design dimensioning, but then obviously have issues where I might scale up for detail then have to turn off dimension classes & create new dimension (detail) class. Kind of irritating. Best practice these days? Thanks, Charles
  2. I am in the multiple design layers with saved views. Once the decision on direction is final I duplicate the whole file & delete surplus layers. I generate a lot of variants, so being able to flip between them rapidly as afforded by saved views helps my design process.
  3. Thanks Cripes design. Yes, I think I am needing some training. I can' get NURBS to really work for me either, and I also would like to 3D model a boat...getting more complicated.
  4. Hi all, new forum member. I have been using VW for a few years. I am convinced that my natural preference for a pencil must be subordinate to the advantages of 3D modelling. BUT I have trouble making Section Viewports really work for me. Perhaps my 3d model is not refined enough...but it looks ok for presentation. I want it to be useful throughout documentation. This is where it has all stopped for me, and I have reverted to making a Vp section, using convert copy to lines, and then doing all contract documentation in 2D. How can I continue to do all in 3d, which is surely the point? Thanks in advance. Have been reading through the posts - its a goldmine. Charlie
