Demensioning problem

Anonymous · ‎2008-04-11

Ok, on my project I have to give the demensions on certain parts of a detail. But on some places on the wall detail, nothing happens. I will select the two points and ok it and select where I want the text. It will work on some places but do absolutely nothing on another area. What could I be doing wrong?

Do you have the correct dimension orientation set? i.e. vertical v horizontal?

thats exactly what the problem is, thankyou. Its been a while since I dimensioned anything.

I still do it all the time. There should be a warning message or a chance to change the direction of a dimension.

Nearly 15 years ago Microstation automatically selected this for xy dimensions based on the way you moved the mouse, which is 90% of all dimensioning. This is one of those things that when I moved to AC I just couldn't believe. Still can't.

Dimensions in 12 are better.
