Dimensioning Perspective or Camera Views?

[trashcan]

Anyone know if you can throw dimensions on a perspective view as an annotation? I know the work around which is to throw dimensions on the design layer first... but who wants to do that???

No. The only perspectives that should be dimensioned are some orthogonal and oblique views. All other views will have to be done on the design layer.

I've been doing this more and more to:

• Minimize clicking in and out of multiple annotation layers
• Minimize redundant dimensioning (and do-overs if a SLVP gets corrupted)
• Isolate which dims I want to show or hide on sheet layers

Note: the Law of Dimensioning Returns says that after about 5 of these unique classes, it's probably not worth it (pick the worst offenders). For example, I tried to do a Dimension-Elevation but it wasn't worth the trouble (too difficult to isolate when Right and Left views would show both). All things considered, it's still less painful to dimension elevations in the annotation layer.

 

Here's an example of a current project:
