    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.

    THIS. GET OFF YOUR *** ADOBE.

    "Some people are limited by their employers purchasing policies that for various reasons will not permit the purchase of third-party plug-ins."

    While I could theoretically make a case for specific plugins at my current employer, the process to get plugins (especially ones that are not free) to be installed in a corporate setting -- where you don't necessarily have admin rights to your own machine (with good reason from a network security standpoint), plugins and scripts aren't the answer. This is especially true if you have to go through a ticketing system to even get to talk with your IT department in the first place. I've definitely freelanced at places like that.

    I shouldn't have to take work home to open up Illustrator files on my home machine in order to pull dimensions using CADTools. I've been using Illustrator for well over 20 years now. There's no reason that a feature available in CorelDraw in the 90s shouldn't be easily worked into the software in 2020.
