Drawing Dimension Tool : Work in Progress This Simple tool is going to save you (time) & make you complete your work quickly! (A must have tool for any Tekla User!)   “Which tool am I talking about now?”   Well, it is the Drawing Dimension Tool.   With this tool, what takes at least a few clicks will be done in only a QUICK SELECTION!   I know exactly how frustrated it feels while working with GA Drawings and complicated shop drawings like  → Truss → Handrails → Staircases   The complex geometry, multiple connections, curved sections & all the other complexities make it even harder.   And then, there’s also the time pressure & software limitation!   But, but!!   With the DRAWING DIMENSION TOOL, all you have to do is pick the secondary members & primary part.    The tool will automatically identify the reference point of secondary members and place dimension in reference to primary.    And just like that, your work will be done 😮💨  Share your valuable inputs to make the tool user friendly. P.S. Do you still work manually & waste half your time on repetitive tasks? #teklastructures #detailing #project #fabrication #erection

Great tool Sriram, cannot wait to use it! Allow me to make the following suggestions: 1 - Will it be possible to set the start point of the running dimensions from a selected point instead of the main selected part? 2 - Will it be possible to choose which leading edge of a plate the running dimensions are located?
