I agree that nearly all dimensions and notes should be on annotations. Only notes that appear on multiple sheets should be on the design layer (which is almost nothing ideally). It makes for a cleaner file, less classes, and the scale of the text is never an issue. I'd add that sometimes I will draw dimensions temporarily in the design layer as a design aid for myself. Once I get to a certain point, I will cut/paste those dimensions into the annotation of the proper viewport.

Thanks Dave! Excellent explanation and cool grass texture.

How do you use the new displacement mapping feature in 2014? Also, are there new manual pdfs to download somewhere?
