We still need to work around the 'create shop drawing' ruby by exploding the subcomponent 'beam' before creating a shop drawing - but check out the files.
Control the dimension visibility with the layer 'TimberDim'.
You can use the scale tool to change the length of the timber and the dimensions will update.
Edit the 'timber' component and then use the 'dynamic component options (right click on a tenon) to change the length, thickness, etc... Dimensions should update.
These follow along to the shop drawings - you could add more, or remove the ones that weren't applicable to your production process.
And I should be able to work out a peg dynamic joint that will do the same.
