Then on the left hand tool bar, click the gray box above the place compent thing, there should be an option to go into drawling mode or something like that. When you click on that, the icons below will change and you will see general desmsion. Then you just click on the lines and drag them out.
If you want to measure it in the actual file drawling, you can just right click and go down to measure. Click on the lines you want to measure and it will give you the distance.
Sorry I don't have Inventor infront of me so the terminlogy is off, hopefully that helped. I will have Inventor back tomorrow, if you have any questions.

Thanks for the reply. I think I've interpreted your directions correctly. I've opened an .idw drawing, placed a base view, and opened a draft view (which puts it in sketch mode). Neither auto dimension nor general dimension do anything, however. I have tried both .iam and .ipt files, and neither work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ryan
