Sorry i am still on Autocad 2010, i bet Autocad 2012 or higher version should have this feature. Anyway. I am looking for just regular dims tool that i can choose to dimension either Horizontal or Vertical, why my autocad 2010 split into vertical and horizaltal, it's no big deal but it wastes of time when sometime i mistaken pick the vertical while i want to dim horizontal on my dwg . Does anyone know where can i customize this? or i need to move to 2014

Linear Dimension replaced these. A Linear Dimension locks a dimension in X and Y, not X or Y, as shown by Horizontal and Vertical dimensions. I do not know a solution to this for 2010, but Linear Dimension is confirmed in 2014, but not sure how far back it was implemented.

 

*EDIT*

How easily accessible is 2014? Does your company already have it, but you simply have not installed it yet? If that's the case, I promote you to upgrade as each new release has minor and sometimes major improvements over the last release.

Thank you very much tzframton, I found the linear dim tool via CUI per your suggestion. I do not have 2014 autocad and it is on my wish list from a long time. None at work use autocad 2014. I bet Autodesk has improved many features in autocad 2014

Glad you found it. I figured it went that far back but couldn't remember.
