Section View Dimension Leader Issues

[Archnot-Boltz]

Why does Chief (x9) dimension to "Stage Left" when dimensioning to my header framing while in Vector Section View? See attached image. I do have the Framing Radio buttons Locate: Ends and Centers turned on in the DBX. Did they fix this issue in x10 ? 

 

If not, I'll go to "Suggestions".

 

thanks for any comments or feedback.

I'm pretty sure you know this but I would check what I have my extensions set at. are those automatic or manual dims?

[Archnot-Boltz]

Manual Dims. But why do they pick points in the wrong direction. Will check my extensions. This happens with Framing and CAD lines while in section views.thanks-BB

you might try to limit the reach to 8' or something

Brad,

You should know by now.

It would help if you posted a plan so we can see your settings.

Perry, you were on the right track. Glenn, I was just getting ready to post the plan when I re-checked the DBX of the offending dimension string (see attached image for the error of my ways).

 

I have no idea how my dimension line's extension distance got changed from my default distance (3") to 242 5/16". It only occurs on that one string and is now fixed by changing the value back to 3". Thanks for the help and I will take the extra time in the future to post the plan (sorry Glenn, I just got a little lazy).-BB
