ACADuser 149 Posted December 21, 2016 Trying to dimension a door opening manually, 19'-7" Nano SGD, but no snaps to the frame of the door. What am I doing wrong? The only snap that will come close is the "On Object" snap which is only snapping to the wall MOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMc 540 Posted December 21, 2016 May be like cabinets, where it is not possible to snap to the openings. Can do a detail from view-dimension that, copy the dimensions and paste in place-not live but better than nuttin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From "Mork (Mork from ORK) and Mindy" TV Series: Nano-Nano SGD = Sliding Glass Door So, this must be a very big "Sliding Glass Door" imported from the Planet ORK.

glennw 1023 Posted December 21, 2016 If it is standard library window or door, you need Openings...Sides checked in your dimension defaults. You can turn all snaps off as you don't need any snaps to dimension openings. If it is a symbol or some other type of custom opening, that is a different story.

ACADuser 149 Posted December 22, 2016 $14,000 was the figure I was told. (not installed) The door is in a "Chief doorway" with a Nano door symbol in it But the door way should be able to be snapped to it with snaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glennw 1023 Posted December 22, 2016 Alan, As I said... Quote If it is standard library window or door, you need Openings...Sides checked in your dimension defaults. You can turn all snaps off as you don't need any snaps to dimension openings. This also applies to a Doorway, which is a standard Chief door type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
