  1. I am a new user with the 2017 student version of Vectorworks.  I went through the getting started and several other Youtube videos and my startup has been pretty fast.   I never expected to get this far so fast.  I am, however, running into an issue.  I am working on a retail space that is composed of several parts that need to be detailed individually.  I started by modeling the entire display in 3d and then made viewports of the individual components and placed them on sheet layers.  

     

    I have a design layer that contains the entire modeled space in 3d.  I have a sheet layer for the viewport of the floor plan from the model, and I have sheet layers that contain viewports of the individual cabinets.  I created a top, front and side viewport drawings using three different viewports.  When I add the dimensions I get ALL the dimensions of the whole space.  I worked around this by making individual classes for each cabinets dimensions, but when I add the cabinet's dimension class, I still get all the dimensions for that cabinet and not just the ones for the view I am working on.  

     

    Am I doing this wrong?  It seems there must be an easier way.
