End to End Dimension, Too Small?

I use the End TO End dimension on my elevation view elevation lines.

When I try to do the 16" gap for floor trusses the dimension disappears as soon as I release the house button.

It's as if the dim is too small to fit & some setting is removing the dimension.

 

Your thoughts?

How big are your arrows? They look small enough but that may be the cause. If the arrows are larger than the space measured there can be no dimension. Maybe, since you have your dimension text in the dimension line it will not allow it even with the arrows less than the space contained?

I change anno sets to 1/2" which are much smaller.

When I drag I can see the arrows & text for dim and plenty of room.

When I release, the dim dispersal.

 

No more time today so I'll check back tonight.

 

Thanks

Alan:

 

I just spotted your CAD lines on the plan.  I have not problems dimensioning across the 16" space with the End-to-End tool.  The best tool for that situation is the Manual Dimensions tool ... it will get them all in one swipe.

Curt, Strange that my end to end will not work but the manual dim will.

 

That plan is not the one I was working on floor trusses and I was not the originator of the roof truss question. Just jumped in there & hijacked the thread. :)

 

PS that's strange. I changed the dim arrow type & now working, changed it back to original & it's working too.

Now I can't repeat the failure in this plan.
