Unable to snap to dimension lines/points (Acad Mechanical 2000i) 1

[BlackBowtie]

The basic problem is I can't snap to dimension lines or points. This makes it impossible to line up dimensions without exploding them. I know I can use "dimcontinue" when going down a line - but that isn't what I need most of the time.

I have never had a problem with this until after I loaded the Power Pack for AutoCAD Mechanical 2000i. I was able to snap to dim lines and points with no problem before then - just pick the end point of the arrow on another dim and the next one would be in line, etc. Now however - I can't snap to any part of a dimension, unless I explode it.

There has got to be a setting of some sort that I am not finding. There is nothing different in the "ddim" (Dim Style Manager) dialog.

Please help me! I am ready to uninstall AutoCAD and try again if this doesn't cease! (Or just go ahead and try using the ACAD Mech. 2004 that I have installed...)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Do You have an osnapfilter for dimensions? Deactivate in the Mechanical options...
