Dimension tool adds additional witness lines

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am using the dimension tool. As noted on the attachment, I clicked on a grid line and then on the edge of a stair but got a bunch of additional dimensions between these two points. Why is this? How do I stop it?

Also, the dimension tool would not select the grid line; the gridline would not highlight, only the wall. If I tried clicking on the gridline without it highlighting the dimension tool would dimension the wall thickness.

If I use the automatic dimensioning function for the exterior, is there a function that allows me to remove points in a dimension string that I do not want?

Michael:

The image does not appear. Maybe the "." (periods) in the file name are a problem.
