I THINK I GET THIS, I WILL LET CA FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO ALIGN TWO SEPARATE DIMENSION STRINGS............ AS OF NOW, I DON'T THINK I CAN, CA, PLEASE MAKE IT SO, THANK YOU.
The dimension tool is also a tool that will dimension nearly anything anyway. It's hard to type how it works, it's just a better tool than chief. I just got the 2 license of X5 and maybe these two items are better in X5, not sure. And it is very possible that chief can do these two things as well or better and I just have not discovered yet. Believe me, chief is my choice, but Revit has a few cool (slick) tools that I really like .
YEP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT WITH THIS STATEMENT AND SO I AM ASSUMING CA DOES NOT EITHER. I HAVE SEEN HOW REVIT DIMENSIONS WORK, AND I HAVE NOT SEEN HOW THEY ARE BETTER........... BUT DON'T KNOW FOR SURE
