Infrancing Lines on Dimensions

Infrancing Lines on Dimensions

Infrancing Lines on Dimensions

(OP)
I used to see infrancing lines on dimensions - when dropping them in a drawing. I liked that - I could line-up dimensions "on the fly". It went away & I want it back. Please advise...

RE: Infrancing Lines on Dimensions

I believe it's tool-> options -> System options -> drawings-> check "detail item snapping when dragging center"

Thanks... I think that was it. But I thought I remembered getting the lines as I was placing the dimension text - this gives me the lines only when I'm dragging the text to line-up the dimensions. But - I'm not complaining. This is still better than I had it.
