Builder Dimension 22 window marker gone in 23?

Anonymous

Why is the builder dimension window and door marker gone in 23? How do I get it out of my 22 files to use it?
I can't understand why anyone would want some big ugly label blocking important stuff on the drawing.

It seems it was deemed unnecessary (or incompatible) in 23 as there are other options.

I asked the same question a while ago. I certainly deem it necessary to have this. Here's a solution.

Kris,

How do you get the embeded detail to work in 23? If I save the builder dimension 23.gsm out then the 23 label tool says it is not a valid label.

Kris,

The instructions in the other thread make no sense. If I export the selected object it saves it as a gsm. The instructions say to add it in the library manager. The library manager only loads an lcf file. What exactly do I do with the gsm file to make 23 use it?

It doesn't have to be an LCF.
It can be the folder that you saved the object and macro into.

According to the other post there should be a macro as well that you have exported.

If you just want to add a single file you select the Embedded Library then go into the Embedded Library tab.
There you will have an option to add individual files.
