Break Out View Workflow

When creating Break Out Views, if the break out profile is an open loop an error message displays. The new workflow places you in edit sketch mode so you can close the loop, finish the sketch, and complete creating the view. If the view has multiple open loop sketches, the command terminates with an error message and you can then edit the appropriate sketch.

For more information see To Create Breakout.

Annotations: Ordinate Sets, Baseline Sets, and Chain Sets

The dimension Sets (Ordinate, Baseline, Chain) workflow is improved, click Continue to place the set, then continue selecting members or use Esc to end the command. Use ESC to end selection when adding set members. Each member added is recorded in the Undo list.

Parts List Editing and Navigation

The Parts List dialog is now a modeless dialog. That means, you can pan and zoom in the drawing while working in the dialog. If you use pan or zoom, use ESC to exit either without closing the dialog.
