dimensioning : walls vs. nodes

[Dave Brach]

when I start the dimension tool, I can click on multiple nodes before double clicking and using the hammer to place the dimension string. But when the first thing I click on is a Wall, then it automatically places the string immediately. I want to be able to click on a wall as the first click and continue to click on walls and nodes before placing the dimension. Help?

Is "Geometry Method: Single-Click Thickness" on?

Marc, thank you. The thing that tripped me up is that I was searching, searching the Dimension Default Settings box, and not the Info Box. I always thought they contained the same information, but apparently there are addtional settings in the Info box...
