Live Element Annotation in Drawing Models via Annotation Groups

There can be a lot of instances on a project where a detail in a section is not practical to model 3D, and the user feels compelled draw the element live in the drawing model. It would be great to capture live elements with annotation groups, as t...

Ability to add bends in watermain and when the bend angle is changed to geometry updates

When laying out watermain pipes the bends can be 45 degrees, 22.5 degrees, etc. These bends are modeled as nodes in our workspace so we can report of them and display them in our drawings. If the angle of the pipe adjusts, we want the node feature...
