Is anyone else upset at...

Hold shift down when you select the arcs.

For dimensioning to min and max of arcs, hold down the shift key while you dimension. They just changed the functionality a little. I like this better, it has more control. I hope this is what you were referring to.

Use the shift key when selecting the arc. Keep it held down until after you place the dimension. Or if you already have a dimension, right click and change the arc condition to min or max.

Muggs,
Any response? Is this what you were trying to do? Muggs you 99% of the time post well but if this was a flame that was put out then let everyone know. It's fair to kick SW in the a55 when they screw up it's also fair to give them a break when deserved.

Maybe he's just embarrassed that he missed the Mar 21, '05 technical bulletin (2005 SP2.0 Change to minimum/maximum dimensions between arcs).

Yes, sorry everyone. I do try to respond when good advice is given. I've been excruciatingly busy, but that's a good thing. I did not know that I could hold the shift key down to give the same or at least similar functionality. But after trying it, it doesn't give the same results unless I'm doing something wrong. Make two circles about 45 degrees from one another:

Then try to dimension them outside to outside in the X or Y axis. I cannot, and this was very simple using the "old" method. I guess what I would have expected was, if SW was getting complaints, is to make the shift key, or a check box, disable the new functionality. But not do away with it. If I've completely miss it here, would someone please straiten me out?
Thanks, Muggs
