	Hi, It may be because of the viewport is not locked. Lock the viewport after setting desired scale and check whether it works? Hope it helps you. Tom kelly www.indovance.com Edited by tkelly - 14.May.2009 at 08:10

	I have found that when you dimension in paperspace something that is in model space even though you snap the dimension to specific points it is still not connected to that object. It is better to dimension in model space where your objects are located. Think of it as trying to snap dimensions thru a picture frame things below the glass are not associated to things above the glass.
