Punch Notes
Add punch notes to sheet metal drawings when you don’t need a complete punch table. The punch note provides a quick and easy way to document punched shapes.  And because the data is extracted from the punch ID, depth, direction, and angle parameters of the punch feature in the 3D model, punch notes will update whenever the punch feature is modified.

The appearance and format of the punch note is controlled through a new Punch Note style and you can also include a <QTYNOTE> token to display the number of like punches in the pattern or in the p

View Annotation Style
The View Annotation Style provides increased control over Section, Auxiliary and Detail views using graphical menus to simplify selection of the desired style.  Additional fields in the style allow users to modify the extension line length, the style and size of the terminator, or arrowhead, and the text style for the label.

Terminators, or arrowheads, used in Section, Auxiliary and Detail views now behave the same as dimension arrowheads – move the cursor over the green dot at the base of the symbol and double click when you see the symbol cursor to select a different terminator style.

Detail View Leader Lines
Create detail views with leader lines between the detail boundary and the label.  This option, which works with the non-ANSI style of detail, is located on the context menu of the detail view annotation. After selecting this option you can drag the label away from the detail view boundary and a leader line is created automatically.

Superscript, Subscript and Fractional Dimension Values
Easily create text containing fractions, tolerance stacks, chemical formulas and numbers in scientific notation.  Text objects including general notes, leaders and system generated text, such as dimensions and hole notes, now support stacked text. Text stacking follows the AutoCAD paradigm triggered by the / # and ^ characters so you can insert stacked text as you type.
