Do you have trouble with checkmarks in general, or only on the dimensions?I have struggled with the dimensions ever since I opened the trial version of ArchiCAD. My interior dimensions are definitely easier to grab. The exterior dimensions that I manually entered do give me check marks. But once I highlight it by clicking on the check mark I can't seem to do anything with it. I've tried ctrl-d but it just makes a little noise at me and doesn't move. Whereas if I get the mercedes and select the dimension it works just fine as far as draging the whole dimension goes. I have never been able to move the end points of the dimension. And about half the time on the exterior I can only get the little rectangle to show up, no circle. But like I said, even when I have the rectangle I still can't adjust the dimension. I have to delete it and try again.

meet someone who has better mileage in Archicad than you do ... after an hour, you will have saved yourself six months.Aside from that any answers to my original issue of not being able to delete a small piece of a string of exterior automatically generated dimensions?

I resolved my issue by deleting the auto dims, adding exterior dimensions manually and using the ctrl button to insert dimensions to my newly created overalls which allows me to select the center of doors and windows. I had two other people in my office (both have almost no experience with ArchiCAD.) attempt to select the exterior 3 1/2" dimensions. Neither could do it but they could get check marks to show up on larger exterior dimensions as well as the 3 1/2" interior dimensions.
My IT department is checking on my video card, drivers and display settings. We're going to attempt to remove the problem dimensions on another machine and see if the results are different.
Thank you for all the earlier suggestions.
