Hi,


The dimension circled in red in the picture below, has been created using points:

Once I delete the points (I want to make the view linked to the 3D modeling file), the dimension became, of course, out-of-date.

How could I run the Re-route Dimension in a such way that would get the real value?
The top side of the dimension is given by the intersection of the two close edges.....

( at this time, the only option is to create a new dimension, but I was hoping I could learn something new)......[bigsmile]

Thanks.....

If you're asking how to change what that dimension is linked to, you can use the "Re-route Dimension" tool in the dimensioning toolbar. I don't have a suggestion if you're asking about how to attach the dimension to a virtual corner since I haven't found a good way to do that yet, hopefully someone else will. If you can get the results that you want with a new dimension, one option is to keep the old one, make the new one and use the format painter to modify the new dimension, then delete the old one.
 
I believe that there is no solution in this matter.
That's because the "Re-route Dimension" has strict two options of picking-up, one for each side of the dimension.
Thanks for cooperation.
Case closed.
