Dimension Bolts in Any View Style

Dimension Bolts in Any View Style

Currently, the only way to dimension a bolted connection is to change the current Model Display Style to wireframe mode. Which appears to reference the center-point of the hole or bolt.

 

Even with shortcuts/macros, it is tiresome to constantly switch between view styles just to place simple dimensions to the centers of bolts in a connection. 

 

This thread as mentioned the same issue previously: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/bolt-center-point-or-line/idc-p/9988122/highlight/true#M3...

 

Example

 

Consistent Colours:

Wireframe:

It would be a great improvement in efficiency if AutoDesk supported placing dimensions of structural connections in any visual style.
