Agreed! That's why I mentioned the 'Automatic Disassociation' properties. Tongue

In some circumstances, dimensions are automatically disassociated, including

  • If the associated geometric object is erased
  • If the associated geometric object undergoes a Boolean operation such as UNION or SUBTRACT
  • If grip editing is used to stretch a dimension parallel to its dimension line
  • If the association to a geometric object is specified using the Apparent Intersection object snap, and the geometric object is moved so that the apparent intersection no longer exists

That's the associative dimension, you can convert associative dimension to nonassociativeuse with DIMDISASSOCIATE.]]> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 04:55:41 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5237&PID=12998&title=dimensions-moving#12998 <![CDATA[Dimensions moving : when i move a wall or object the...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5237&PID=12997&title=dimensions-moving#12997 Author: AnnieC

when i move a wall or object the dimension line that is snapped to the wall moves as well.  Does anyone know how to turn off this setting???]]> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 03:43:18 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5237&PID=12997&title=dimensions-moving#12997
