Hi,
is it possible to reverse the origin of the dimensioning line when using "continuous method" ?

The first Reference Point is considered the zero point of the dimension chain.
So.... Redo the dimension string with the dim. points in the opposite order (Right to Left).

Sure, just select the dimension and mirror it.

Not that I am aware of.
I just selected the dimension and used the pet palette to mirror it.

I agree with s2art. Is it AC14 bug?
Besides in 3D document there's no even possibility to mirror the dimension string.

Could well be.
At work I am on the latest build - 3862.
I just tried at home - build 3636 - and it didn't work.

And you a right there is no mirroring in 3D documents.

Yes latest hotfix solves the problem.
Still can't mirror in 3D docs though.

You are right Barry Kelly - latest 3862 hotfix fixed the bug. Besides I realised that my ArchiCAD was not up-to-date

Thanks everyone
