Hello,
One of the most tools for architects is to put vertical dimensions on façade

I never seen this in Bricscad
You think is possible to have on future southings like this?

SYSCAD

Hello,
the vertical Dimension is a tool in our application for metal Engineering ( Windows / doors / curtain walls).

If you only want to have a simple solution, please have a look into this german cad-forum:

http://forum.cad.de/foren/ubb/Forum54/HTML/023609.shtml

There are some dynamic blocks for that, the solution of SUSI79 (HoeheV2.dwg.txt rename it to HoeheV2.dwg) should also work in BricsCAD.

You might be able to create a dimension style that looks like that, though to do so you might have to create a custom arrow block and maybe a custom linetype. Attached shows what I was able to do with just what's built-in. The dimstyle of the dimension entity on the right is a variation of the dimstyle of the one on the left, with these changes:

• Arrow 1 = None
• Arrow 2 = Datum triangle filled
• Dim line LW = 0.00 mm
• Dim line 1 = Off
• Dim line type = DOT
• Ext line 1 = Off
• Text rotation = 359
• Text movement = Move text, no leader
  Also, the dimension entity's Linetype scale property is set very high. That, in combination with the 3 revised Dim line settings, makes the dimension line almost invisible. I don't know if it can be made completely invisible; perhaps with a custom linetype.

It is definitely not as fancy, but what is wrong with a new _UCS and creating _DIMORDINATE?
