Layout view with limited (only showing some) dimensions

[Andrew1]

I would like to make two or more layout views of the same floor level but show different dimensions on each view. So far, I notice that any dimensions I add or modify show up on all layout views with the dimensions layer enabled.

 

I am thinking one view to show exterior dimensions, a second to show interior dimensions, and a third to show details of electrical placement. 

 

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Tip: Always say what software you are using -- Pro, Architectural or Suite, and the year, like Pro 2020.

 

Home Designer places all dimensions on a single layer with no way to change.

 

Interior and exterior dimensions are often shown on the same view.

Make two copies of the file and do your dimensioning in each. Send your views to a common layout (may not work in older versions).

Thanks!

 

I am using pro 2025.

 

I think I’ll figure out how to cram all dimensions on one view. I really don’t want to lose configuration control by forking the model.

 

note to home designer team: you should have examples of the practical limitations of each version of the software where the feature comparison matrix is. Like have a drawing package made from pro. Or show the most complicated roof architectural can do. 5 pages and all-or-nothing dimensions makes your pro version impractical for making actual construction documents.
