Secondary Dimesnioning in Section or Detail Windows

Aaron Bourgoin

It doesn't appear possible to use the secondary dimensioning feature in section or detail windows?

Can anyone suggest a workaround, GDL tool or other API tool to dimension something in metric and imperial in the same section window?

Many Thanks,

One workaround in AC9 would be to save two views in ArchiCAD, each one defined with a different dimension style. Then overlay the two views in PlotMaker. Of course due consideration should be given to the layers visisble in each view.

A workaround, but still achieves what you want!!

Cheers,

Maybe Secondary dimension can help?
