Drag the marquee around the portion of the drawing that you want, and do a Copy. Respond to the dialog with the entities/etc that you want.<BR /> <BR /> Create a new independent detail window and paste there. Or paste wherever.<BR /> <BR /> You will notice the common thread in all of these workarounds: the 3D view / isometric is not linked and you will have to repeat the steps if your model changes.<BR /> <BR /> Linked, annotatable 3D views is a long-standing wish.<BR /> <BR /> Karl Fri, 29 Apr 2005 18:08:45 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Writing-Dimensioning-and-Lines-on-3D-View/m-p/73418#M60075 Karl Ottenstein 2005-04-29T18:08:45Z
