Dimensions not working at all after Archicad 27 update to Build 5060

Hi Graphisoft team

Dimensions are not working at all on my 1st use of Archicad 27 after the update to Build 5060 on my Windows 11 Home (23H2) computer.

See in the video, Dimension tool highlights the elements, but the dimension points are not created, so no dimensioning is happening at all.

I saved the file, re-opened it with repair (it did do some repairs) and saved it again, then tried the dimensions again but it's still not working.

Is this a known bug?

Hi @Francois_MCD,

I guess it's not a bug, after watching your video I noticed you accidentally chose (Arc Length) as a dimension geometry method rather than (X-Y or Any Direction) one, as attached below.

Thanks @Mahmoud Qenawi I totally missed that and it's so obvious.
