    Dimension Question

    Can you dimension to different points on different view.

    Example: foundation I might want to dimension to R/O for a window or door and on floor plan what if I want to dimension to center.

    Can this be done if so could or would someone elighten me.

    Many Thanks Again,

    Edward,

    If you're talking about auto dimension... yes you can use different object locates on different floors but not on the same floor.

    Edward,

    You can actually select auto dimensions & make them manual, perhaps put them on another layer, then auto dimension again. Then you could use either set on the same floor.

    I made a foundation layer and a floor plan layer, when I do auto dim on the floor plan layer it changes the foundation layer that I have on my layout page.

    thanks again,

    Ed,
    When you say Foundation layer and floor plan layer, are you talking about still on the same level? (assuming level 0)
