    Default Dimension Witness Line Styles

    Summary: Please can the dimension witness lines have more options. In particular dotted lines.

    Description: We often have to dimension large drawings with many dimensions on the drawings. in having dimension lines crossed over can confuse a Contractor as some of the buildings wall or light lines dissapear behind the dimension lines. What I used to do in AutoCAD was to create a new dotted line for the witness lines. This way, we were able to place many dimensions and the contractor were able to follow the dotted line to the relevant dimensioned item. You can set the witness lines away from the items, however some times we have to place the dimension far away from the dimensioned item. by having light dotted lines the contractor or builder can easily follow the witness lines and all confusions will be eradicated.
