Just started using TD today. Mostly loving it. Its heaps better than drawing dimension workbench.

One really pressing question. How do I make the text in my custom template editable in TD?
The template I painstakingly edited to be editable in drawing dimensions is not editable in tech draw....

Quick Update. I have just tried TechDraw. Its AWESOME!!! Never using drawing dimensioning again!!!!
