If a grid changes, use the thick marquee to update.<BR /> <BR /> The downside is that the dimensions aren't associated with the grid itself.<BR /> <BR /> Another way is to create the grids in a separate file and module them in...but that comes with its own set of complications.

Need a change? Do it once.<BR /> <BR /> You can use <A href="https://bimcomponents.com/Search/floating%20dimension" target="_blank">this object from manuBIM</A> (the first two on the search result). Never got around to find the time to code the dimension options into the polyline script.<BR /> <BR /> Best regards.
