I started Autocad drafting with Autocad 97 Light. Since I started using
Autocad 2000 I have had an on going problem with dimentioning.
The trouble is that the snap will pick on the end point of a previous
dimention line extention instead of the endpoint, intersection etc
of the actuall drawing entity. I never had that problem with 97 Light.
Anyway I find myself going into the dim. diolouge and suppressing
the ext. lines untill I am ready to print and then turning them back on for the plot. Time consuming!! Is there a variable I can alter to correct this?
I realize I can change the offset of the ext. lines to a much greater distance but as I said, this never happened in Acad Lt. 97 so I am curious
If some variable is set differently.
