Man, I really liked both of those songs a lot until the chorus line from Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" decided to chime in.

OK, after looking at the website, I think the chorus is part of the joke. Hilarious stuff.

My favorite tips (in addition to your solid ideas) include:

Using the midpoint filter for dimensioning to slots in a drawing.

Holding the shift key to add a dimension from the edge of a circle instead of the centerpoint.

I really want to use the SWx BOM's, but I don't like that the cell row height and width is never fixed...it's to easy to screw up and make it look sloppy.

That would work Bruce, I just don't want to have to do that every time, and I don't like the fact that an incidental click can override the fix I just made or the settings I changed.

I deal with a ton of assemblies, most of which are simple and just need quantity, part number, and description. Just not enough functionality to make the switch from Excel worth it.
