Hi all,

For those of you who don't know me, I work in Product Definition at SolidWorks. I'm currently doing some research on how people use drawings and I would like to know from you:

What are the silliest workarounds you use in drawings, and what is the actual goal? (And please tell me what version you're using.)

For example,

Workaround: create a section view, crop the view, and hide some edges

Real goal: cross section of a specific feature while hiding the rest of the model

Version: 2009

Workaround: draw a sketch over an existing area of a drawing view and hatch within the sketch

Real goal: hatch an area that's visibly outlined on the drawing

Version: 2011

I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Thanks,

Melissa.
