Dimensioning in PS and Zoom in Model

[mrr1671]

Hi,
I have the next problem and maybe somebody can tell me how to solve:
I have all the geometry for a part in Model and all the dimensioning in PS, the problem is that I need to re-arrange the views in order to add more details, I am doing this zooming in/out the model into the PS, doing this only is affecting the geometry but not the dimensioning that is attached to it.
Is there a way that the dimensioning follow the geometry at the time to zoom in or out the model in PS?

Any help will be great...thanks!

Hi mrr1671,

of course can you move the modellspace and the dims will follow. You must not click inside the viewport and pan/zoom with the mouse.
1st the dims have to be associative.
2nd you have to use the commands "_pan" and "_zoom" inside the viewport.

Q: Why do you make the dims in the paperspacce? Do you have a lot of scales?

I agree that dimensions belong in paper space. Emphatically. Everything said below assumes your are in a layout and paper space. When I zoom and pan around inside a viewport using the commands pan or zoom or using the mouse, my dimensions follow the model objects. Even if I pan beyond the viewport borders, the dimensions follow. When I change the viewport scale factor to zoom in on an object, the dimensions follow. Stretching or moving objects updates the dimensions. Key 1: what version of Autocad.? Key 2: the variable DimAssoc must be set to 2. Key 3: you must snap the dimension control points to objects in the viewport ON the model. Key 4: 3-D objects do not work consistently (my experience only). Key 5: changing the viewport's UCS can mess up a dimension (my experience only)

I just want to thank you for all your help, your advices help me to solve my problem, I have finished the drawings.

I am using the Autocad Mechanical 2004 and the company standards say that only geometry is to be in the Model, everything else should be in Paperspace.

Thank you very much...
