Dimensions

It would be very useful if we could assign different pens and linetypes to both the dimension line and the leader lines.

I'm not sure how I'd use different line weights, but line types would be very useful. I've never liked having to draw a separate centerline as a dimension leader.

And how about "arrowheads" too. When the line is a centerline the arrowhead should be a circle.

This is an old thread, but I will add my 2 cents:

Typically, the extension lines of a dimension string (I believe they are called "witness lines" in AC) have a finer lineweight than the dimension line, so it would be convenient to be able to control the pens of each.

Controlling the linetype of the extension lines (the aforementioned center line) would be VERY helpful.

Also, the ability to use different arrowheads (a dot at center lines and/or grid lines) could be useful -- and the capacity to create custom arrowheads would be ideal!

How abuot an option for popup selecting vertical/horizontal/aligned after "hammer click"? Or manually track dimension alignement after "hammer click"

nice one, but how about after the hammer, left click - vertical, right click - horizontal and centre click aligned? That would be cool

yeah, baby, or just (hammer) click then shift-click up (or down) for vert, left or right for horiz, align for aligned.....instead of just the one point. And be able to change your mind if you do the wrong one!

Aladino I think you should create another, separate wish for this one
