Problem

Dimension Linear command does not appear to be working the same as it did in the previous version.

Solution

The main tool bar was changed, with the new Dim Create enhancements, based on the most commonly used tools and settings. These were also changed to be more compatible with AutoCad. These settings were incorporated into the main tool bar only, not the Tools > Dimension > Linear tool bar tools. MS_DIMLEGACYPOINTORDER will make the dimensions in the main tool bar work like the old versions.

This variable can be set by going to Workspace> Configuration> All Alphabetical and set
MS_ DIMLEGACYPOINTORDER value to 1 and this will then be enabled.
