Dimensioning problem? Single-click Thickness Checked?

This one caused me a bit of grief today.
Thought I'd share...

I started using a new template in AC22
and very time I tried to dimension a string
of composite walls (Linear: in Plan View), I couldn't get past the first wall.
It would dimension the core and then I couldn't click the next wall.
If I clicked nodes, I was OK.

Finally found (by reading the manual ) I had the
"Geometry Method: Single-Click Thickness" button highlighted.

Never knew it existed. Magically appeared in AC21 (I think).
You won't see the button in the Dimension Tool's Dialog Box.
Only in the Info Box.
