Just upgraded to 11, temporary dims not working...

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

Yes, I know this. but try and draw a square with a polyline shape and see what happens.....

 

OK...done.  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.

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?

Yeah, even a new plan does the same thing.

 

Here is a screenshot of the defaults for temp. dims.

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.

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!, Just a simple button click. Sheesh.

 

That was it, they work now.

 

Unbelievable. What a simple fix.

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

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?
