Drag two dimensions together

[suresh070379]

Hi,
Is it possible to drag two dimensions together in drafting mode while editing the drawing. Now, I am doing this one by one & then align in line by line up command. If it is possible to drag both the dimensions same time, it will be time saving.

Geometry Modification: Translate

Or you could use CTRL to select both dimensions and drag them together.

Hi weavedreamer,

It is not working. By using translate, we can able to pick and move. But, after that, dimensions become come back to the original position. Kindly let me know if i made any mistake.

Thanks jackk, I wasn't aware of that one.

The CTRL works on mine as well, suresh070379. I am beginning to suspect something else is at play on your setup.

It works for me with R21.

I wasn't aware of dragging multiple dimensions or the LINEUP tool, until Suresh asked the question.

Hi jack/weavedreamer,
I checked the option and find out that if I select the dimensions, right click, align into system, then drag, it is working fine.
Thanks for the solution. In the help manual, it is mentioned that we can control the dimension movement by dimension system selection mode on, select dimension, properties, system and select free. I am checking this option. Once it is cleared for me, I will let you know.

Hi,
Finally I got the exact solution to this problem.
When I selected the dimensions with CTRL key, I have mistakenly selected the dimensions on dimension text.
But, exact method is, it should be selected on dimension line.
Now, it is working fine for me also with CTRL key.
Thanks for everyone.
