Disable Running Dimensions?

Can running dimensions be disabled on detail drawings for beams and columns? I can't find a setting for this in Management Tools. Is it somewhere in the drawing processes or drawing styles? I still find the drawing styles dialogue very overwhelming.

 

Many thanks.

I will try to sneak and earn a solution for myself :), Advance Steel Dwg styles are shown, you will have to uncheck in "User" dwg styles :

If it is made of steel, I can model it and detail it.

 Sorry,

I thought you are asking about RD symbol, end of a long and rough day here.

 

You will have to either modify the dimension chain from Linear Ordinate to show Linear Relative, or to delete the dimension request. Below is an example of items dimensioned in Beam dwg style. For column-One side will be "Top", one side will be "Bottom", as if Beam is rotated to be plumb.

Thank you for the guidance.

 

Now I just need to work out which dimension requests are being used in my prototypes, but at least I now know what to look for. Thanks again.
