This project holds a module created to solve an issue related to using OpenSCAD.
While most users appear to be using OpenSCAD to generate models that will ultimately find expression in 3D printing, I use it to design parts that I would make from use of my lathe and other metalworking tools. I wanted to design the part, print a dimensioned drawing, and walk out to my shop to make the part. However, it was surprisingly difficult. Being able to generate dimensioned drawings proved to be problematical. This project grew out of that motivation.
This code can be used to create dimensioned lines, title blocks etc. used to document parts.
