JECORMIER Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It's been a while, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why my temporary dims don't show when I select walls (with no dims), draw polylines, cad blocks or solid objects etc. Hmmmm I know it's a simple fix but it's just not coming to me. I've included a recent x11 version plan for reference. Thanks for the help.... Justin MARBLE_HILL_ROAD_6-18.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin MARBLE_HILL_ROAD_6-18.plan Justin - if a wall or any item really is connected to a dimension...Chief will not give you a temp dimension.

JECORMIER Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Yes, I know this. but try and draw a square with a polyline shape and see what happens..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to work. You don't get dims as you draw the polyline...but, as soon as you are done and you click an edge...you get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECORMIER Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Well....that's what's happening in your version. Mine, does not do that. My question is what button do I need to push to make that happen? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNestor Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Open your defaults, go to temporary dimensions and take a screen shot and post it. Below is what mine looks like... I looked at preferences...but, couldn't find anything specific. Maybe someone smarter than me needs to chime in...I'm out of ideas. If you create a "new" plan...do you get the same behavior?

JECORMIER Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Yeah, even a new plan does the same thing. Here is a screenshot of the defaults for temp. dims. Thanks for the help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help.... Defaults are exactly like mine...so, I'm not sure. Can you draw a polyline box in a room and click on an edge...take a screen shot of the result and post it? Thanks.

What a simple fix. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Justin I've been looking at your plan..and wondering why you have defined your walls with drywall..but with a "zero" thickness? Even your exterior wall definition you have both the siding and the drywall with a "zero" thickness. Do you do this to get a Plan View that is simplified...or is there some other reason?
