command 'Dim' doesn't work

Anonymous
Not applicable

hello,

 

I have some problems with the Dim command.

when I type dim, I can't click anywere to measure something and it doesn't show any snapping symbols.

 

the command line says: 'Dim Dim', but i remember it saying something like 'Dim: define the first point' or something like that?

also my cursor doesn't show the question mark after i typed the command as it normaly would.

 

 

Thank you for helping me out

So do you need any assistance, or does the DIST command solve it?

yes, the Dist command solved my problem.

Try the command " dimlin " for linear dimensions

and " dimang " for angular dimension...instead using the command " dim"

this should work! 🙂
