Drawing workbench and Drawing Dimensioning are outdated nowadays. TechDraw is in many ways much more advanced than the afore mentioned combination. Especially the recompute works much better. I would recommend to give it a try.

Hi,

I'm not certain of the nature of your problem. Did you add radius dimensions to different edges, then they all got switched to the same edge after a recompute?

Unfortunately, the author of Drawing Dimensioning stopped its development 2 years ago, and nobody volunteered to pick it up. I doubt that you will get help solving this issue.

On the other hand, when a fillet is the same in multiple places in a part, by common convention you only create one dimension and add "typical" or "typ." to the label, so you don't clutter the drawing view. So the dimension would read "R0.2 (typ.)" (with or without parenthesis)

Unfortunately, regarding dimensioning, it is still missing a lot of tools that Drawing Dimensioning offers. Hopefully they will get added in the future. That being said, I see nothing in bridge's screen capture that cannot be done already in TechDraw.

Hello, I changed the dimension exactly 4.2 to 4.6 in the sketch and wanted to update and after this operation such an effect, all dimensions were on their own and the ones that dimensioned the rays came together in one place.
Tech draw, for example, has no possibility of inserting tolerances, how can I create a table in this WB and another additional advantage of DD. is that I can give the symbols of groove, welding, etc. Maybe there is some way I do not know because I'm a very beginner Freecad thank you very much for your help

You can add additional symbols: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 17#p247117

ok thank you, one more question where I can find a database of GDT symbols in svg format. GDT as WB does not work on me, gets an error message:

You do this only if you really need it.
