Dimension Tool Pro Tips:
Go to "Options" and select "Enable Hover Label" This will display the dimension measurement as you go, making it much easier and faster to reference the distance of the dimension prior to completing.
Go to "Options" and select "Enable Ortho" This helps keep your dimension lines straight and even.
To edit or delete a dimension line, first click on the page title, which will allow you to interact with the dimensions on the plan. This step is necessary because dimension lines are on the first layer of the plan, so you need to engage the plan name to make any adjustments.
