Dimensions are only x y oriented and does not align with my sections of the dgn

I am having trouble with the dimensions I would like them to be align with my parking spaces; section of the road and instead when I mark the section the dimension comes in a xy direction and does not stay in between the sections that I want to measure.

  • Depending on the Dimension tool you are wanting to use, it is most likely the Alignment option on this tool that you are looking for. This allows for the placement of the dimension using either View, Drawing, True or Arbitrary. In this circumstance I would suggest using True which would draw the dimension parallel to the element. An explanation of each of these can be found in the Help Documentation under:

    > Contents > Composing Drawings > Dimensioning > Aligning Dimension Styles

    I hope this information is of assistance.
