Auto dimensioning: per-view behavior and the visible render layer error

Dimensions can be added one by one with the dimension tool (Annotate > Align Dimension: click the edges to measure, then click where the dimension goes; the Architecture tab also has Draw Dimensions), or automatically: the Align Dimension tool's panel offers Add Auto Dimensioning, which places them for you, and, once auto dimensions exist, Remove Auto Dimensioning.
