ChiefuserMathews Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 thank you very much for your reply. as requested attached is a screen shot. I am using X10. The 12'-0" dimension was inside the bedroom. as i moved out extension line is missing (where is now pointing near the door). but if i move further to the right passing the wall corner then the extension line re-appears. Any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 It would be better if you could expand on your signature with system and chief version information. Take a look at what I'm showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you have drawn a dimension string - it is a single object - you can't manipulate the individual segments. I suggest you download the Reference Manual for the version of Chief you are using, and review the Dimension chapter to gain a complete understanding of the different types of dimensions and how they work. Also, please include the version of Chief you are using in your signature, not in your post (unless your post relates to a deprecated version of Chief).

Any suggestions This is just how Chief behaves - the dimension line is referencing the wall surface, and Chief isn't "smart" enough to realize that the wall surface is not visible due to the door opening, so it doesn't draw an extension line. As far as I know, you can't do anything to prevent this behavior. If it's important enough, as a workaround you could draw a CAD line to act as an extension.
