Let me go ahead and open up a couple of files here. The first one I want to open is a actually a 3D file as well. So it's eDrawing part 2.6. Let's go ahead and open that up. You can see this is a little bracket, and I can spin this thing around, I can look at it. The only problem with looking at this bracket is I don't see any of the dimensions, right?
