    dimensioning to Z shape implied intersections

    Looked through the help and found nothing, then did a search here and found nothing.

    I am needing to put a horzontal dimension from the implied intersections of a "Z" shape.

    In the attached screen shot, I have a question mark at the dimension I'm needing.

    I have tried the RMB/Intersection in different ways, but none giving me the dimension

    I'm needing.

    How do I go about getting this dimension?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    To accomplish this task do the following:

    1. Select Line 1
    2. RMB > Intersection
    3. Select Line 2
    4. Select Line 3
    5. RMB > Intersection
    6. Select Line 4
