Dimensioning points

[BodyBagger]

Hello all,
I have 2 points that define the positions of 2 hole wizard holes but I seem to only be able to dimension between them on an angle. I need to dimension them horizonal and vertical not on an angle. I think there is a setting for this because another user here is able to change the dimensioning style if he moves the cursor around the point.
Thanks,
BB

I suspect you're in a 3D sketch, did you select a planar face before starting the hole wizard? What happens if you create a horizontal or vertical relationship between the points?

BB,

Pay attention to your mouse placement. The attached image shows diagonal, vertical and horizontal dimensions to the same points. The dimension value is placed where the mouse pointer was when clicked. The diagonal dim results from being inside the horiz/vert square boundary formed by the points. If you move your mouse outside this square you'll get either a vertical or horizontal dimension.

For some reason today the same part that was problematic yesterday is now cooporating. Thanks JMirisola
