I've added an aux view in order to add a diameter, or rad dimension. However I can't add it, nor can I do the hole, anyone any ideas? I have fudged in the centre mark on the aux view as I couldn't add that either. Any ideas on any of these things would be great!

The curve is defined as a "line" and the rad tool doesn't work. My trick is to draw a 3 point arc on top, then use the rad tool on it. Sometimes the tool still doesn't catch it and I have to use the select mask : "arc only" JL

Thanks for the tip! Do we know whether this type of thing would get looked at and maybe changed? One thing I don't like is fudging in drawings!
