The ability to do this will be a big plus for me. I often write work instructions for product assemble and have had to turn to other tools to create the line drawing graphics like this. This is a display option in Solidworks that I am happy to see making its arrival here in Alibre!
My thanks to Max and the "A" crew for implementing this.
A Big thumbs up!
I would love for the option to have the ability to create a copy of features, like copy paste, this would be a huge time saver for many reasons, sometimes their are many boring repetitive operations, and we can use GLP's to go and inter things, also it would be smart to have the dimensions of the said copy have incremental ability, starting say with 1 then going 2, 3 etc... so if your GLP is setup right its possible to have minimal editing. (would prefer for the feature of incremental be defined in system or drawing/model settings, this way possibly having it on OR off, sometimes want to have duplicate dimensions too)
Also please give us ability to copy sheets! in 2D and be able to change/select the configuration for the sheets on the fly

Copying sheets and changing configurations!! Would be a game changer!
GLobal Parameters I would guess.

I would bet that is changing configurations for views on a drawing after the views are created and dimensioned.
in 2D drawing, we can not copy paste sheets, nor can we change configurations of those individual parts as you can in asm 3d etc..
having this feature would be a game changer, because you can create on the fly many similar parts that have few variations, dimensioning parts of one sheet, then copy paste that sheet and change configurations! that would save so so much time! maybe have to redimension few things for each configuration but thats still not bad
pair that with GLP and wow can you save a lot of time, and possibly have only few part models but a lot of sheets for dimensioning

Parametize a "linear repetition" inside a sketch sheet like when doing a linear repetition of 3D features.
Currently it just copy and pastes sketch -elements with no link of the copies to reflect later changes to the original nor a way to asign variables to the count and distance of repetitions.

And extend it to Circular Patterns and make them (and Linear Patterns) "relatable" to component patterning at the Assembly level!
Since there are a couple post like that now already:
For those of us who, like me until a few days ago, do not know - here is how the wish list can be found: https://www.alibreforum.com/forum/index.php?threads/wish-list.20914/

When you say "tangent edge" do you mean "Silhouette Edge"?
If so, what is the reason? We actually just removed Silhouette Edges as an option from 3D and tied it to the Illustration and Wireframe View Modes instead. The reason is that Silhouette Edges in 3D are very expensive to calculate, and on assemblies it really brings performance down. So it's "dangerous" in that people have to know this, otherwise they're stuck with bad performance and a marginally better looking 3D model in most view modes.
Where Silhouette Edges really shine however is in Illustration Mode and in WireFrame mode, which is why we tied them to those modes. Viewing Illustration Mode without Silhouette Edges turned on is often a really bad experience as well.
