Associative vs. unassociative dimensions

[Robert000]

Hi all,

I created 2 examples. The first one is with unassociative
dimensions, the second (bottom) one is with associative dimensions. If I moved them, on the bottom example not all of the dimensions are movin´. If I opened this example in ACAD2000 the problem didn´t occurs. I have acad 2008, and my question is how is it possible to change the property of dimensions from associative yes to no - see also the property box. I have attached the example.

Thanks a lot,

Robert

Looks to me like all dimensions, top and bottom are associative. However, you can break them up into individual entities by Exploding them.

Click on the dimension and compare the property box - general - associative. In the top example the value is set to no, on the bottom example the value is set to yes. If I will explode them, the dimension values will not be change after stretching them.

Try the DIMDISASSOCIATE command.

It leaves dimensions associative to the point that if you move the nodes, the dim updates, but if you move the object that it was snapped to, it does NOT change to match.

If that's not what you were looking for, can you explain a little more?

If you want that changed for all future dimensions, in the OPTIONS box, User Preferences tab, uncheck the box for "Make new dimensions associative"
