In all the latest CAD packages, this facility is available. If we give the general notes in drawing, the chances of mistakes are more.

As the drawing becomes the legal part of the document, It is always necessary to show it on the print irrespective of the CAD files. Further, to avoid all confusions it is always better to include 'box' for basic dimensions. I agree with the explanation.
