Drawing, quotation problem on large parts

Hi all

When drawing a large mechanically welded frame (greater than 3 or 4m) I have a hard time making the dimensioning.

So I'm in my drawing, I've inserted my views, scaled so that everything fits on my sheet, I'm attacking the dimensioning. As usual I take the dimension tool, I click on a first entity and when I want to select the second entity (to dimension the center distance) the dimension of the length of the first entity is displayed, the second one has not been selected. To rate a center distance I am regularly forced to take it back many times. I tried to zoom in, to use the selection filters, but nothing changes...

So for some things that are usually trivial, I spend a long time there. :(

I should point out that I have noticed this phenomenon only on large frames, and on several files.

 

If anyone has ever encountered this problem and found a solution, I'm all for it!

Thank you

Is dynamic highlighting of the graphical view enabled?

It allows you to highlight edges when hovering the mouse.
