Q - question

How to quickly find dimensions with 'hardcoded' dim.text?
A - answer You have received a drawing where some dimensions contain non-associative (overridden, "fake") text. Such non-standard dimensioning entities can be set back to standard associative dims.

Use the DIMREASSOC function from the Express Tools - after selecting all drawing dimensions only those containing text overrides will remain highlighted.

You can also use the OverDimCol LISP utility to highlight all overridden dimensions - see www.cadstudio.cz/download.
