Idea about improve insert horizontal/vertical dimensions tool
For example if i select circle and press "insert horizontal dimension" button
I get something like this (->0<-):
But it would be much better if result of this operation to be the horizontal (or vertical) size(diameter) of the circle.

Your task can be solved using TechDrawTools.FCMacro
Workflow:
- create centerlines at circle using Draw Circle Centerlines tool
- create vertexes at intersection of horizontal centerline and circle using Create Vertexes at Intersection tool
- create horizontal measure between the vertexes
- add the ⌀-sign using the Insert a ⌀-Sign tool
Code: Select all

I know that Macro edi.
But it would be great if something like this was in the official Tech Draw workbench.
As far as I understood, Tech Draw is completely written in C and perhaps this does not allow for the rapid introduction of new features due to compilation difficulties.

Search edi's and domad's posts. There is work in progress.

Don't know. I have not met anything like this.
I am not so aware of what is happening on the forum.

As @chrisb mentioned, the work is in progress. It is my first attempt to extend FreeCAD using C++, therefore I am very slowly.
The first 5 tools are merged already. If you compile from https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tree/master/src you can use it.

Re: Idea about improve insert horizontal/vertical dimensions tool
I saw these pages when I was translating the TechDraw Wiki. And where is the discussion on the forum?
(By the way, these pages can already be marked for translation)
