Moving Dimensions
(OP)
Is there some to turn on a dimension when moving it? Everytime I move the dimension it turns into a box and it's pretty hard to manually algin with another dimension.
Thanks,
Thanks,

RE: Moving Dimensions
Highlight all dimensions you would like to align and right click. The align comand has about 6 options for you to chose from.

Yeah, I tried that and also works. It's a pain when you want to do a simple align manually. You see, I have this calibrated eyeball and........LOL!
I was just wondering if there was a checkbox under options I'm missing.
Thank you sir for your feedback,

Didn't work sir. Still end up with a box when dimension is moved.

RE: Moving Dimensions
Is the box only around the number, or including the dim lines?
If including the lines, I have never seen that before.
If just the number, you need to align using the dim line either with snap or the alignment tool.

Don't we all have a "calibrated eyeball?"

CTRL+Pick dimensions, then Tools > Dimensions > Align Collinear/Radial. I dragged that button to my dimension toolbar because I use it often.
