    Default Linear Dimensions

    Has anyone had a problem where you wanted to place a linear dimension that it would not select anything when you placed your cursor over items such as walls, windows, floors, grid lines, etc.? I can use all of the other dimensions aligned radius, etc. but for some reason linear will not work when I try to select anything. any ideas? I did look at the type properties and did not find anything out of the ordinary that I think would prevent me from picking object to dimension. Thanks for your help.

    Linear dim. will snap only to the end points of objects, or intersections.

    LOL, OK. I haven't tried that. I just assumed linear.
