first off ..... new dimensioning is HORRID second, when I strike a new dimension, it cannot "find " existing dimension lines to "line up" with them... am I missing a setting? ------------- AutoCAD 2015 |

Did you check your DIMSTYLE settings? Are you using either one of these options: Baseline / Continue? Are you dimensioning in model space or in a paper space layout? Is the dimensioning annotative? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Did you check your DIMSTYLE settings? not sure what I'd look for Are you using either one of these options: Baseline / Continue?doesn't seem to matter which I use Are you dimensioning in model space or in a paper space layout?model Is the dimensioning annotative? ??? not sure. I go to options,etc DESELECT make new dimension annotative, run dimensions, go back to options, and its selected again. ( yes I hit apply and ok) fyi I am using a dimension layout I brought over from 2012. also, I am new to 2015 and it seems to be quite a jump from 2012 all I get is a weird little white "+" when I get near existing dimension

I can't figure it out based solely on your description. Upload a copy of the actual drawing file so we can have a look at it ourselves. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

You don't happen to have constraints enabled do you? I see you are located in the United States. Where exactly? At this rate it will be 2015 before the problem gets resolved. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

I don't have constraints on.... I think.... no locks appear and the two dimensions are the dimension from the button with the lightning bolt on it. Reading, PA agreed, this might be awhile ------------- AutoCAD 2015 |

honestly, I think the whole program is buggy, or its my system. ie, match properties works, sometimes... either it cancels itself or I must click the destination object twice... not double-click mind you, click it twice with a slight pause in between. still haven't gotten used to trim and extend yet, sometimes I can click, sometimes it goes into click and drag mode... all in all its been a he77 of a learning curve from 2012....bit frustrating actually. ------------- AutoCAD 2015 |

I see. Well you have the following choices... 1. Do nothing. Always an option. 2. Do a REPAIR of the installation. Not the same as an uninstall / reinstall. What do you want to do? The jump from 2012 to 2015 should not have been that traumatic. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.
