Hi Jaycad,

Thanks for your response.

Have muddled through to a basic 2D floor plan.

I cannot get the dimension tool to work - not sure if its a layer issue or something else - have watched at least three video tutorials, all of which seem to make the selection of points and subsequent dimension line positioning appear very simple.

At the "top" end of my drawing, I would like to dimension the width of the apartment, however, after selecting the base line points and positioning the cursor above this line, nothing happens - the dimension line will not go above the proposed dimension edge... Have just tried positioning below the line (inside the Plan) and it will position there, but this is no good for a presentation / print out.

There doesn't seem to be anything else that I can adjust in Drawing Preferences.


Best regards,

Tim.
