This needs to be made more intuitive. Every time I do it, I have to look it up.
Thanks for the answer.
And the color of the dimension is grey! Very annoying

You have a choice about color. Toggle the drawing to show assigned colors (instead of system colors) using . . .
. . . and then change colors as you want.
I believe most people prefer seeing the system colors, but the option is there.

Jeroen,
Dim is grey?, It should be on whatever layer you are on, mine come is black, because the layer i was on when i created i was black.

The reason your dimension is grey is because it is a "Driven" dimension and that is what you're Color Settings are set too, you can change it......
I have all my dimensions on a Layer
Hi,
You can also do the following within the smart dimension tool.
1.) Select the smart dimension tool.
2,) right click on one of the ref lines (my case the bottom line)
3.) Click on find Intersection
4.) Select your other ref line (Mine is the diagonal)
5.) Next click on the line to dimension too. (right hand edge for me)
All done with 5 clicks of the mouse
Regards

Cool!
I cannot delete virtual sharps once created. Is it the same for you all?
Nope, i can delete fine, try selecting in/using a window...
I tried selecting lines or widow select right-down or left-up. No luck.
I found it now. I have to select the intersection point.
Interesting, window select worked for me... but in doing so it select the point, so same result.
No you're exactly right. It's me being an idiot. I was window selecting from outside the view. If I start the window inside the view it's alright.
Did you know that you can also just select 1 virtual sharp. Then, with it selected, hit CTRL + A and it selects all of them.
Then you can just hit the delete key.
You can't? Why not? See below:
There is also this way (a little easier to see this time):
Coming soon: HoverIntersect
1 (or 2) key presses (you choose which key) and zero mouse clicks to run "Find Intersection".
Was going to roll out today but had a simple error.
Left the code at home and only brought the EXE to work.
Perhaps over the weekend or on Monday I'll roll it out.

Why isn't this the default behavior in SW!!!!?
And thanks for the effort, I'll keep an eye out for it next week.
Hello,
As I stated above, HoverIntersect is available: [Updated] (HoverIntersect) Find Intersection with 1 (or 2) key presses, zero mouse clicks.
All info and files are at this link.
