Hmm.. Even after 8 years, I still learn new things. It's nice to have new blood coming in to the company.
One of our recent hires just asked me why we don't use the Dimension Centerline feature.
If you (like me) are not aware of it, you can set up your Dimension Style to add a CL symbol and use a different Linetype when your Dimension detects a Centerline. When you Dimension to the Centerline of a Wall or the Center of a Family (as defined by the Reference Plane in the Family), Revit will use the "Centerline Symbol" option in the Dimension Style.

My question to the group is:
Do you use this option in your standard Dimension Style, or do you have a completely separate Dimension Style just for Centerlines?
If you use it as part of your standard, does it ever get in the way and add CL when you don't want it?
