    We have done further updates to Dimension tool with recently released version - 28.3


    You can create and use your custom scale for dimension, hide or show units on dimensions and dimensions are now sticky to the object - they transform as well when you transform the object.

    Hi Yogesh,

    I also work in the sign industry and use Illustrator. For a while I would use the CAD tools plug-ins, but I always found them a bit clunky. And, with the price increase, it became not worth it.

    To comment on your question, a separate spec creation services might not be ideal. I create shop drawings for people (like welders, machinists, and painters ) so they know how to fabricate the designs. Typically these drawings are printed out on paper. These drawing are printed at specific architectural scales ( Example: 3" = 1' -0") so with a scaled ruler, non listed dimensions can be measured with accuracy.

    Angular dimensions would be great, also radius dimensions are helpful.
