So, I feel like I've run into this problem for years now (multiple versions of Civil 3D). I like to keep as many of my manual annotations in paperspace as I can (i.e. labels that aren't Civil 3D generated). This way my modelspace stays clean. Anyway, most of the time, if I am trying to use any DIM command to apply a dimension in paperspace, and I am snapping to a Profile object, it simply will not show the proper dimensions. Instead of showing the dimensions of the geometry in modelspace, it gives me the dimensions in paperspace.
For example, if I snap to two points of a profile that I know to be exactly 15 m apart, and my viewport scale is 1:150, then the dimension will read 100. So the dimension object in paperspace is displaying the 100 mm of paperspace that was measured, instead of the 15 m of modelspace that was measured.
If I use the same dimesion style to measure a simple object like a polyline, then everything works as you would expect, and it displays the correct dimension of the modelspace object, even though my DIM object is in paperspace. It is only when I measure Profile objects that it won't show the modelspace measurement.
What am I missing here?
