ModelIT dimension readings appear to be heavily corrupted following the download of 2015 feature pack 1.

Is anything being done to address this issue?

HI,

We haven't updated the known issues posts with this one yet but yes we have observed that the construction lines displayed lengths are being calculated from the model origin rather than start point.

This isn't affecting any other dimensions and all modelling is accurate, it's just the line length shown when you are drawing construction lines that is affected. I know many people use Construction lines as a quick visual feedback on lengths but remember you can use the measure length tool for this as well to find the distance between any two points as required, similarly if you are looking for added precision when modelling either by using construction lines or when drawing room lines then I can recommend the key-ins e.g. click your start point then use the dx=a,b to specify distance in the x-direction a units and y-direction b-units you want the line to be drawn.

We'll ensure the construction line visual feedback is resolve din the next version but for now I hope this will be of use regardless

Thanks Phil -hopefully a hotfix won't be too far away.

we'll have 2015 Feature pack 2 in November so I'll get this change added in for then.

Thank to the anser. That handicap really when you do something quickly, without being precise to the millimeter.
