Dimensioning

Post by Graham Wright » Mon Jun 30, 2014 11:01 am

Suddenly, the dimension tools have stopped working.

E.g. - straight horizontal line, when I click on the end points, a rectangle is created.
What am I doing wrong? It has worked perfectly up to now and stored drawings can have dimensions added in the expected fashion.
Have I changed a setting?

The dimension font and arrows are likely simply too small to be seen in your current drawing.

Please refer also to our FAQ at:
