Hi Tim,

I had a similar problem which was resolved by turning off snaps.  I used end snaps to place the dimension end points then found that I could not position the dimension line where I wanted it.  After turning off snaps I was able to position it.

LibreCad snaps are very "magnetic"!

Incidentally, I draw and model buildings from pointclouds so I well know that they cost an arm and a leg, especially when you add plugins to improve point cloud management.  I know that cheaper programs like ProgeCad and Gstars can import point clouds that cannot manage them very much beyond that - slicing, for example.

I have a friend who uses GStars and uses Recap or other software to cut slices and sections from the cloud, which are then imported into Gstars.
