If you are really working on a 2D model, then use DIMLINEAR or DIMALIGNED because you are restricted to 2 dimensional distances, e.g. from the beginning of the driveway to the end of the driveway where you enter the garage. If you use MEASUREGEOM you are measuring in 3 dimensions, e.g. from the beginning of the driveway to top of the garage door of the garage door entrance.

 

Since you mentioned you use the MEASUREGEOM regularly, it sounds like you frequently measure 'ground' distances where the surface elevation fluctuates from point A to point B. If you are measuring architectural distances, then you should measure in 2D, not 3D, so the trades don't freak out when they cut lumber, steel and pipe. Inaccurate cuts may make the finished building lean-to-one-side and they might the blame drafter who used the wrong Cad tool.
