      Is it a bug that Inferences Locking (using the Shift key) to an Axis does not seem to work with the Dimension Tool?

        Hi, Jim:
        In Sketchup 8 I inserted a sphere component and made a tall narrow box near it, I applied the native dim tool, clicked on some vertex on the sphere and dragged over to the box hovered over an edge and clicked- it didn't take, so while the tool still waited for the second relevant point, I clicked on a top vertex on the box. The dimension displayed the direct distance (non ortho), but as I brought the cursor downward a dotted blue line accompanied, and clicking near the edge below that vertex the dimension was set.
        Is this not what you see? Or, do you mean, after first click you do not have any type of axis locking? That is what I see also.
        Would this be a bug or an undeveloped feature, or have you been able to do this previously? Because, it is not available in my 7 version either.
        Just hoping to corroborate and keep this item floating in the active topics.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
