Dimension exterior walls - rotated

[tahitimat]

Hi,

For most of my plans I need to dimensions exterior walls in a rotated mode.

I mean:

create a rectangle, rotate it, convert it to polygon and create wall form polygon. You got a rectangle of wall wich is not vertical or horizontal.

I'd like to get the exterior dimensions of it. If I use the menu "dimension exterior walls..." I got vertical and horizontal dimensions.... -> not what I am looking for.

I wan't dimensions parallel to the main axes of what I've just drawn.

So I got to:

Select all the item I wanna dimension, rotate it to be perpendicular or horizontal. Put it on a separate layer, call "dimension exterior walls", paste back the items and dimensions on the original layer, rotate back in place. And there it's what I was looking for.

Is there a more efficient method? ( I tried to rotate the drawing with the rotate plan method and to create a separate working plane, neither works)

Going through script I cannot suceed in calling "dimension exterior walls". How to do it?

Thanks
