Dimension basement columns

[Jambruins]

When I layout my basement columns I like to put a dimension from the center of one column to the next and so on.  Is there a way to get the dimension to show like the attached picture without having to pick a column and then the next column and then having to drag the dimension up to align it with the previous dimension?

For that, I start with a single, End to End Dimension and just drag to each column center. Very easy then to add centerline markers if you wish.

There's no real auto way to get columns dimensioned.

I use the CENTERLINE DIMENSION tool. Makes life easier. Once you hit the center of the column, it automatically changes to a centerline dim. Then just grab the handle and snap to the next post.
