Ever tried placing an Aligned Dimension across the opposite corners of an Air Terminal and it hasn’t worked. This blog will explain how it’s done.
Normally, using the Aligned Dimension tool will result in either a vertical or horizontal dimension because edges are selected, if we select the corners, an aligned dimension will result. To create an aligned dimension requires picking the dots displayed at the corner where two edges meet, to activate the dot requires the user to ‘Tab’ through the selection of edges and then each corner until the dots are displayed - except sometimes the dot refuses to appear, if this has happened to you, read on.
If the dots refuse to appear, it’s because of a setting within the family, not a problem with the dimension. The resolution is to edit the air terminal family. Follow the procedure listed below to edit the family.
