During the placement of a wall a temporary dimension will appear showing how far away you are from the closes wall or object. The temporary dimension from a wall will always measure from the center of the wall not the inside or outside face.
I know that when picking the WALL command you can choose the LOC LINE for wall center or exterior face for example, but this is for the wall you are about to place, not the temporary dimension that appears while placeing the wall.
For example, I would like to place a new interior partition 10' from the inside face of another wall that it 4" wide. I would have to type in 10'2" to place the wall because I have to factor in that the measurement is from the center of the wall and I must include half the width of the wall.
How can I set the temporary dimension to be on the face not the centerline?
Thanks,
Mike
