    Default Witness Line Disappeared

    Hello All,
    We have recently upgraded to MEP 2010. Apart from trying to find where certain commands went, I think the transition is going smoothly.
    I am having a problem of missing witness lines. You know the dimension that comes up when you select a receptacle (or other hosted element) that you can constrain a certain distance from a wall. See my screen shots attached. In the tutorial PDF the witness line shows up when the receptacle is selected. In my drawing it does not. I cannot figure out a way to get these to show. Any help would be appreciated.

    Also, does anyone know how to get to the options screen apart from going to the Manage tab and hitting Macro Security?

    Thanks for your help.

    I just took a second to look into this, perhaps there is a different solution that I don't know of yet.

    I think what is going on is the tutorial has walls drawn directly in the file you are working in. In your project you are probably linking in an architectural model. That's the difference, the witness lines will only be present if there are real walls to reference.

    Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.
    Is there a way to draw in a reference line that will create a witness line for me to base my receptacles off of?
