dimensioning..........

is there a way where the dimension lines are rubber-band so that i can move them when i edit the walls or objects?

i can move the dimension figures but i can't move the dimensioning lines.

it's quite tiring to delete and add new dimension lines according to the revised locations.

help.

thanks matthew.....

please go ahead and add that 'associative' dimensioning into the wish list.

i see there is a 'static dimension' check box but i can see any different whether it is checked or unchecked. What does it do when is checked/unchecked?

Associative dimensions can't exist without associated building points, while static dimensions stay the same once set since they aren't associated to anything.

You use the staic dimension to cheat if things don't exactly work out with the model.

This can all be avoided from the start though right? When we dimension to an element, that element becomes selected. If we don't want that element, just keep clicking on the same spot and it will cycle through all available elements, highlighting each one. When we have the desired one, just click OK or continue onto the next element.

Don't mean to state the obvious, but just wanted to make it clear.
