"Activate Dimensions" tool gone!!!!!

Dear Autodesk Team,

 

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding the recent release of Revit 2024, specifically in relation to the removal of the "Activate Dimensions" tool. As a long-time user of Revit and a dedicated professional in the field of architecture, I am compelled to share my concerns about this decision.

 

First and foremost, I must emphasize the significant impact that the "Activate Dimensions" tool had on enhancing the functionality and efficiency of the program. This tool played an essential role in streamlining the dimensioning process, allowing users to precisely control dimensions and annotations without having to switch between various modes. Its absence in Revit 2024 has led to a considerable setback in the user experience and overall productivity.

 

The decision to remove such a valuable tool seems counterintuitive, as it directly contradicts the principles of user-centric design that Autodesk has upheld throughout its product development journey. The "Activate Dimensions" tool wasn't just a feature; it was a solution to a common workflow challenge that architects and designers face on a daily basis. Its removal has not only disrupted our accustomed workflows but has also necessitated additional steps and actions to accomplish tasks that were once straightforward.

 

Furthermore, I am concerned about the impact of this decision on the design community as a whole. Architects, engineers, and other professionals rely on Revit as an integral part of their work process. The sudden elimination of a tool that was integral to our work has created a sense of frustration and disillusionment among many of us who have been loyal users of your software.

 

I implore Autodesk to reconsider this decision and reinstate the "Activate Dimensions" tool in future updates or releases of Revit. User feedback and needs should be at the forefront of any software development decisions, and I believe that the restoration of this tool would demonstrate Autodesk's commitment to its user community and its dedication to enhancing the usability of its products.

 

In conclusion, I urge you to listen to the voices of your users and take steps to rectify this situation. Revit has been a pivotal tool in the architectural and design industries, and I sincerely hope that Autodesk will continue to prioritize user satisfaction and efficiency in its software development endeavors.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to a positive response that addresses our concerns and outlines a path forward.

It's not gone, it's just always active so there is no need for a button. Thank God! Finally! So many trips to that button and clicks on it.

Did you even try it out?

The concept isn't gone it's just reworked. Toggle on Activate Controls & Dimensions.

This.  There is no need to find that button anymore.  I am not sure what the OP is missing.

Yeah, it's unbelievable that that button was added to the UI and NOT made it active by default....
How's is a user supposed to know that in 2023 you need to go there and make sure the new button is active?
I wasted 2 weeks drafting detail lines because I thought "Activate Dimension" was broken.

Anyways...
