    Default Dimensions ???

    I have designers designing new projects where new walls are not perpendicular to anything.

    Is there a way to dimension these walls where the dims are perpendicular to the actual walls?

    The walls are not arcs.

    thanks

    Without seeing your actual project, I would think that reference planes would help you the most. They don't print unless you specify them to do so. Otherwise, you will have to dimension as best you can to corners, intersections, etc. It sounds like it will be a nightmare building it with accuracy. Definitely possible, but more difficult.

    you should be able to dimension to the corners by using the tab key until the endpoint highlights. Note this works for lines too anything you can tab until you get its endpoint.

    I figured it out after I posted. I need to dimension to the points by using the tab.

    thanks for the help
