This is important for small parts with many measured values in it.\r\n\r\nhttp://www.rs1kronach.de/cad/tutorials/E3/data/funktion.jpg\r\n\r\n4) If there is a chain dimension, i want to make a point instead of an arrow on the contact point. The start and endpoint have to show an arrow! Maybe you can create a new linear chain dimension. You can use the linear dimension tool, you only have to change that the last green point which you have choosen, has to be dialed-in for the next dimension.  So for the second, third, forth... dimension you only have to take the second green dot.\r\n\r\n5) Automatic center line of holes. You can look how gib is the diameter and can decide how big must be the center line of the hole. Would be spare much time :)\r\n\r\n6) Face measuring objects like the welding ones, would be useful.\r\n\r\n7) The begin of a mid line of an object has to start a little bit over the part. The symmetry line has to start outside the part and has to end outside the part.\r\n\r\nhttp://forum.cad.de/foren/ubb/uploads/Frau-PROE/symmetrischer_Grundkoerper.JPG\r\n\r\n8) The first dimension has to be 10mm away from the part, every following dimension has to be 7mm away from the first and every following dimension.\r\n\r\nhttp://www.zielstatt.musin.de/HandbuchTechnik/TZ/Bemassung/bem3.png\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you for your tool, without it, it wouldn't be practical to use FreeCAD for production! So thank you very much!

It would be useful too, if i can set the \"comma\"-on option in the global preferences. Instead of i have to set it every time again. For point 8) with the 10 and 7mm from the part away, if it is possible to write it, it would be awesom if you can set an option for it. For example option a) continius pulling the dimension line b) stepped dimension line setting (10, 17, 24, 31mm ... far away from the object.)\r\n\r\nThank you for your willingness\r\n\r\nPS: Are you from german? I saw some welding-svg-files with german labels..."}}
