Align dimensions quickly

Tips and Tricks
Ever find it troublesome and tedious to align dimensions? I do and I find that engineers spend most of their design time aligning the dimensions, and just making the drawings more readable/presentable to the machinist.
In Solidworks there are a few align tools to help you speed up that drafting process. You can callout these tools, Align Colinear/Radial and Align Parallel/Concentric from Tools>Customize>Commands>Align.
Hope that this small tip will help you in some way or other (Small drops of water make up the might ocean?). Or as a vendor once mentioned to me: “It may be peanuts, but many peanuts make up 1 ban jian queh” =)
