Perpendicular Layout Dimensions

Hi,

First post on here.

I am encountering an issue when adding dimensions perpendicular to an object. I would like them to appear perpendicular to keep any drawings easy to read. Please see attached reference image. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Cheers

Try holding down Alt or Alt+shift while dragging the dimension.

What @nmason indicates will help although it tends to look better when the Camera is set to Parallel Projection and Iso. I’ve requested that the dimension lines could repsect the perspective of the viewport but I understand it’s a difficult challenge to implement.

As alternatives you could place the dimensions in SketchUp for those perspective views. Or set up a Parallel Projection scene with 2- or 3- views of the parts and dimension those instead of dimensioning the perspective view. I prefer the latter as easier to read, especially when there are more details to dimension.
