By quadrant I am using the convention which divided a circle into four 90 degree quadrants as per a standard X-Y plot. Most 2D and 3D CAD packages will allow you to pick a quadrant point on a circle at 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. I am unable to 'pick' the 90 degree point on the roof of this...

Is there a way to force Atom3D in drawing mode to pick a circle quadrant instead of the circle center ? The options shown once the circle quadrant is picked are - center, inside or outside. If outside is selected the dimension is created using some arbitrary point on the circle.

Thanks for the suggestions. None of them work in Atom3D. I 'solved' the problem by starting with a blank drawing and sketching the format I wanted. I also entered generic text (x's and y's) in the fields I wanted to populate. I then saved the drawing with a generic name. To make a drawing of a...

Thanks for responding DavidJ. However the information you sent me all relates to Alibre Design - I made a point of noting in my post that I am using Alibre Atom3D and the many of the features described in creating custom 2D drawing templates do not appear to be available.

I am using Alibre Atom3D. Is there a way to customize drawing templates and also a script to insert standard data ?

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Is there a forum for Alibre Atom3D users ?
