x1.4
Hi All:
Just wanted to chime in to applaud the folks at CA for this update. In many ways, it's better than some of the upgrades I've purchased in the past! I am really happy with the product now, and I'm doing things with CA (like townhouses) that I never thought would be so easy.
I'm still trying to learn all of the new features and fixes, but so far, it rocks!

Larry,
As you have found out you can control the layer it goes to, what I'm taking about is that the temporary dimension are not always reliable. Katy had the problem yesterday, I saw it with my own eyes.

There is a known issue with temp dimensions picking up the drawing sheet even when the drawing sheet is turned off. This will be fixed in a future update but it could lead someone to belive that temp dimensions are unreliable because they point to something that is not visible and appear to be incorrect. Perhaps this is what was observed?

Interior walls where the dimensions could not reach an exterior wall worked fine (if that has any relevance) - A wall that was selected near the perimeter of floor plan instead of having perpendicular measurements had only parallel dimensions similar to "show wall length" - wasn't consistent but when occurs they are useless. Otherwise usable temp.dimensions is a dream come true. - - also saw where the temps. went outside of floor plan, to nowhere, as described and wondered a bit about that also? - everything otherwise is just fine . . .

Keith - thank you for the reply. I have edited my thread starter.
Spark already knows that we have trouble with the temp dim and the interior wall. Looking forward to that getting fixed.
The problem I am having with the "S" key I noticed yesterday under the following condition:
Take a vector view of a model - top view and export to cad with patterns intact. Place a joist direction block (I've used for three years without incident) and it will snap to the pattern, No big deal, but then try to copy that block over and hold down the "s" key but it will not stop snapping to the thousands of points on the roofing pattern.
Hope that helps.
Allen - are you not able to reproduce this either? If it's just me then I guess it's just me.Rich C. SDSInc

I get the same Rich. Holding down the S key, while in Cad Detail from View, does not stop the snapping (Skip Snaps).

The 11.4.1.7 update should address several of these issues.

Christina, what I do is "shift A" for all dimensions and this will give a dimension from the horiz int wall to the rear horiz ext wall and then I can use that dimension to move ext wall. And if I am not mistaken if a wall is dimensioned already via manual or auto dim. a temp dimension will not pop up. Is that so

Oh boy.
Now I'm going to have to take some time to show you a thing or two.
The trouble is I really don't have time. I will try to come up with something.
