I can’t figure out why _*DimDiameter and _*DimRadial functions don’t work when making a detail in a layout. I can use _Dim which snaps to all the lines but the functions above won’t snap to any circles. I can bypass this by drawing a circle over top of the layout but then the dimension is way off and its somewhat time consuming to redraw those curves. I also don’t want to draw the dimensions on the actual layer unless I absolutely have to, I’d prefer if they stayed in the layout if possible. I’ve underlined the functions that aren’t working in the attached image. Thanks!
Hi Trentks -
In a quick test in Rhino 6 with a simple circle, that appears to work fine.
Please post a 3dm file that is not working for you and the output from the Rhino SystemInfo command.

Hi thanks for getting back to me I’ve attached the files.

Hi Trentks -
Thanks.
When I open your file and immediately run either DimRadius or DimDiameter, I can select circular features on the objects and place those dimensions. The Selection Menu pops up because there are multiple possible target curves in the same location.
Note that the Centermark option was buggy in previous versions of Rhino.
This was fixed in Rhino 8.15 → RH-62512 Centermark: Allows selecting objects in detail views from a layout

Thanks for letting me know it was buggy I had restarted rhino to test it but it actually took a full pc restart to get it working. I had thought I had a setting turned off but I will try a full pc reboot for future odd problems. Thanks!
