Title: Distance Dimensions, View of Connectors in 3D Scene
Post by: cappleby1 on June 26, 2014, 06:30:42 AM

When using a Distance Dimension the dimensions lines then show up in the 3D Scene. The dimension line (known as connectors under the annotations options) can be turned off. The issue I have is that when I want the connectors to show a distance locked in X or in Y they do not adjust.

For example I have a distance to two offset circle. I de-select the 3D distance in the feature control window and now select X distance. In the 3d scene the dimension lines still show the 3D distance and do not adjust to show that the distance has been locked to X.

Hope this makes sense, I have a screen grab.

Ok I'm not sure how to upload the image. Do I need a photbucket account or something? I rather just paste in into the text box...

I understand what you want, and I've been requesting that feature fora LONG time. Currently, it doesn't work like that though.
