ionw Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I have noticed that in VW 11.01 and VW 10.5.1 that you cannot use the angular dimension tool to dimension between objects that are on other layers. Is there a reason for this? it looks like all the other dimension tools work across layers. not a huge issue, we only use it occasionally so drawing a couple extra lines to get the dimension isn't a problem, I am just curious. thanks ion Quote Link to comment
canarch Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 i've also notice that you cannot use the angle dimension between a line and a line that is contained within a group. but as you said i too do not use this tool much so drawing a few extra lines does not take up too much time, but it does appear to be a major flaw. thanks Alistair Quote Link to comment
