I have managed to get the aligned dimension line that I needed. However, I'm confused by the interaction of the dimension lines and the Snap functions. Until now, I had not been able to see the boxes surrounding the choices of the Snap menu. They are very faint on my monitor. Once I noticed them, I de-selected everything, then re-selected Snap to Entity and Snap to Endpoints. After clicking on the two end points, I found it necessary to deselect Snap to Endpoints and re-select Free Snap. I then did the final click on the drawing where I wanted the dimension lines to appear and they did. This is not how I was successfully doing it before, so I must need to understand the Snap choices better.
