Turn off dimensions

[SteveBenton1]

I made a new " Plumbing View "

In this view, I want to draw lines to all my plumbing. When I do it asks me to turn on Dimensions.

When I do this, I have way to many measurements.

How can I just draw a few measurement lines?

You need to create a new layer for your plumbing dimensions to keep them separate from the others.  Then you probably want to create a new layer set with the plumbing dimensions turned on and the other dimensions turned off.  Then create a new dimension default to use this new layer and call it something like "plumbing dimension defaults".  Now whenever this dimension default is "active" and you draw a new dimension it will use those defaults and be on the right layer.  The best way to do this is to make sure your "plumbing view" has that dimension default and your plumbing layer set as the active ones so that when you open it up everything is already setup the way you want.
