    Dimensions to window and door center?

    Is there a way to set the outide dimensions to go to the center of windows, doors, ect. instead of the start - end of the opening?

    Yes, open the dimensions dbx and on the "locate objects" tab choose your openings settings.

    Another dimension question,
    how do you get the dimensions to go to the outside of the foam instead of the outside of the siding on ICF walls?

    Thanks for help

    Ryan:

    Open your wall definition DBX for that wall type and set "dimension to this layer"
