Hello - I am an AutoCad novice and trying to move some holes around. I can move them OK but every time I move the hole, the measurement does not update.I know there must be some easy way of "bumping" an object over a bit while the measurement stays active. For instance in this example  my hole is .0952 inches from the side and I need it to be at .125. I keep moving the hole, and re-measuring, find it's off and start the process again.Is there a shortcut or easier way to do this?Thank-you for any help!

Hi rbardwell, welcome!Can you tell me what your [VAR]DIMASSOC[/VAR] system variable is set to?To find out, just type that into the command line. The current value will show up at the end of the line (For example: Enter new value for DIMASSOC <2>:).If it is set to 0, then you won't get any updates, but if it is set to 1 or 2 then it should be updating automatically for you.

it is set to 2 and it seems like one time ti did work correctly on another measurement...maybe it's the way I am trying to move the object, but am trying to do it basically the same way...thanks

OK now the measurement seems to be updating - I turned snap back on, don't know if that would make a difference. Thanks for the clue abt DIMASSOC...it would still be great if there was just a way to bump it over a 001. of an inch rather than having to do the whole MOVE command etc...thanks

Just a note, if the value is 0, when you change it to either 1 or 2,
that will not change the value of existing dimensions. You'll need to
delete and re-dimension the circles.

If, however, the value is 1 or 2, then your dimension somehow became
disassociated with the object. To fix this, simply use the
[CMD]DIMREASSOCIATE[/CMD] command to reassociate it with the object. Whenever you move the object in the future the
dimension should move with it.Good Luck!!
