you could just manipulate the layer the dim is on....or just delete them and re-dimension... I wouldnt mess with the associative dim setting, its helpful... |

Agreed! That's why I mentioned the 'Automatic Disassociation' properties.  ------------- -- R. Williams AutoCAD 2010 Certified Professional <!-- If all else fails hit F1 --> <<AutoCAD 2009 |
