The only way for me is to Change Object Type of dimension to 'Lines' and you can move or copy
anywhere you desire.
You do have complete control over the Arrowheads, you can have a million or so sizes and styles if you want,
why? I don't know.
It's been painful for years producing drawings.

Try to do some simplified threaded holes from your model to the drawing.
Should be a no brainer, not with Shark, or perhaps I'm missing something.

I make one, than Translate and Move (Copy), time consuming and painful.

crickets....

OK, I am officially requesting it.

And, yes it will be extremely helpful given the 'line of sight' window restrictions in views.

The big red boxes that 1. need to be activated before any action can be performed on a view, 2. if any dimension falls outside said big red box, it's hidden and thus can not be selected, 3. when these big red boxes overlap (I.E. when one wishes views to be close) working in the drawing is really difficult and 4 if a note is within the big red box, it does not seem I can select it unless I start the 'box select' outside the big red box.

I understand I am still a Noob on VC/Shark so if I have completely missed the boat here, please let me know. But so far, every drawing I have created (granted not many) has operated in this manner.

Thanks Larry. I will give that a go.

Update: Larry, that is not what I need. I have a leader note that points to an area on my part in the Front View. I cannot select the note directly. I must use a box select starting from outside the red box boundary. All I need to do is change the wording in the text line. I have NO OTHER CHOICE but to box select it, move it outside the view's red box boundary, deselect it, select it again and then I can modify the text line. Then I need to select it again to put it back near the part in the view. It should not be this convoluted a process to change a note.

Pardon my Noob-ness once again. Indeed Jason, I did not have the view 'activated' upon creating the original leader note. It was not associated to the view. Crawling back into my hole for time being.

Activating a Draw View is only with the selection Tool possible. If you have any other tool in hand, you can click at the draw view, but nothing happen.

When the selection tool in hand are the snaps disabled. This is not good for me and when turning a model with the special stroke turning Alt + Right Mouse, and want set a new turning midpoint with Alt + Right Mouse + Ctrl, you don't get snap points except the model is selected. I find snaps should be always on. Sorry this is off topic, but have to do with the selection tool.
