Greetings all!

When attempting to create CAD Block that contains dimensions, I click and marquee select all the items desired in the CAD Block (photo A1). With the items selected, I click on the Create CAD Block tool. Once the CAD Block is created, the bounding box of the newly created CAD Block is tremendously larger (photo A2). This only occurs when dimensions are included. What am I missing? I am trying to save routed edge and molding profiles with dimensions to my user library to be inserted into CAD Detail windows and sent to layout as each project may require.

Thanks

Your using a 3d molding symbol in vector view , they look like that, but not in render view.

AHA! I checked the render view and can see you are correct.

Chief X5 and X6 is my first experience with CAD of any type, and only for the last few months.

..... It's not how we would draw it so Chief shouldn't draw it that way either.

I find myself thinking this quite often.

Thank you both.

Greetings all.

Created a symbol molding from an 18" long molding polyline and Chief is displaying the 18" segments on the cabinet and ceiling. Followed the tutorial video. Gotta be something simple I'm just overlooking.
