  1. I have created a 2D drawing on the 2D Model sheet which has some dimensions placed on some of the geometry. When I place 2D Views on the working sheet I would like these dimensions to be hidden. How can this be done?

  2. How do I change arrowheads

  3. I have a drawing in 2D draft created from a DXF import. The drawing has one layer but the various sub sections are distinguished by colour. Is there a way to select entities by colour?

  4. I am creating a pure 2D drawing and would like to know how to scale the views onto the drawing sheet

  5. How can I create threads in a 2D drawing? Do I need to draw them individually every time or is there a way to store them in some sort of library, like a block?

  6. I would like to quickly select certain 2d elements in a 2d drawing. For example select all lines that are hidden detail or the same colour.

  7. In 2D model when drawing or moving an element, I want to reference the position to an existing element. In 3D sketching this is done by hovering over a part of the existing element (end, centre, etc.) and a dotted line appears to show that the new elements will start on the same X or Y plane. This doesn’t seem to happen when drawing a 2D model. I am sure it is there so how do I turn this on please?
