Greetings,

New to 13, and for some reason my dimension tool is not working? I mean, it works but I can not select any of the elements in my view? Only the intersection of a wall, no windows, doors or walls (overall).

Am I missing something simple here?

What was it?  Its always nice to put a solution to your question incase someone else comes across the problem.

User error of course, as you select an item to dimension a small black dimension line appears withing a mess of blue phantom dimensions and you have to zoom in on this microscopic icon and click on it.  At that point the dimensions are added to your view.

My question is; what was wrong with picking a couple of lines and placing a dimension?

I am sure that there is some ridiculous parametric mumbo jumbo going on, but sometimes I have to wonder....
