    "Paste" in Drawings

    I didn't know I could do this with notes so I am glad to learn something new. You have to be outside of a drawing view when you right click for the paste option to show.

    Shortcut Keys Stop Working

    This has also happened to me. Right when I started using v26 two of the shortcut keys I use all the time didn't work. I checked to see if the shortcuts were still assigned to those keys and they were so they should have worked. They did start working at some point but every once in a while...

    "Viewport" Size???

    Jason, Do you have any hidden layers in the drawing for that viewport? I've experienced similar then realized the hidden layers must be within the title block for the drawing to print properly. Ken

    How do I hatch an area with a circular edge tangent to a line?

    To get the line segment you need to create the hatch you can activate sketch in that view then add a line segment constraining the end points to the end of the arc and end of the line. The line segment can then be selected and the hatch area closed. Ken

    Selection thru a part

    You could expand the part in the design explorer to see the faces. Expand the faces and move your cursor over each face listed. They will highlight on the part. Click on it and it will be selected. Ken

    Dimension Suffix Text

    If you click on the dimension the toolbar pops up that says "change dimension". In the suffix box you type the text you want and when you want to go to the second line press and hold control then enter to go to the second line. The suffix box only shows one line at a time but you can go through...

    Unlink BOM from a sheet?

    You are right, the help file is not very clear and is incorrect. The RMB functionality is there however if you right click on the feature above the sheets instead of the view of the BOM. Deleting the BOM view won't unlink it, but unlinking the BOM will delete the BOM view. Ken
