DIMREASSOCIATE (Command)

Associates or reassociates selected dimensions to objects or points on objects.

Access Methods

Button

 Toolbar: Annotation tool set Dimensions tool group Reassociate Dimension

 Menu:  Dimension Reassociate Dimensions

Summary

Each selected dimension is highlighted in turn, and prompts for association points appropriate for the selected dimension are displayed.

A marker is displayed for each association point prompt.

• If the definition point of the current dimension is not associated to a geometric object, the marker appears as an X
• If the definition point is associated, the marker appears as an X inside a box.

Note: The marker disappears if you pan or zoom.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Select dimensions to reassociate...

Select objects or [Disassociated]: Select the dimension objects to reassociate or press D to select all disassociated dimensions.

The prompts for the different types of dimensions are:

Linear

Specify first extension line origin or [Select object] <next>: Specify an object snap location, enter s and select a geometric object, or press Enter to skip to the next prompt

Specify second extension line origin <next>: Specify an object snap location, or press Enter to skip to the next dimension object, if any

Aligned

Specify first extension line origin or [Select object] <next>: Specify an object snap location, enter s and select a geometric object, or press Enter to skip to the next prompt

Specify second extension line origin <next>: Specify an object snap location, or press Enter to skip to the next dimension object, if any

Angular (Three Point)

Specify angle vertex or [Select arc or circle] <next>: Specify an object snap location, enter s and select an arc or a circle, or press Enter to skip to the next prompt

Specify first angle endpoint <next>: Specify an object snap location or press Enter to skip to the next prompt

Specify second angle endpoint <next>: Specify an object snap location or press Enter to skip to the next dimension object, if any

Angular (Two Line)

Select first line <next>: Select a line, or press Enter to skip to the next prompt

Select second line <next>: Select another line, or press Enter to skip to the next dimension object, if any

Diameter

Select arc or circle <next>: Select an arc or a circle, or press Enter to skip to the next dimension object, if any

Leader

Specify leader association point <next>: Specify an object snap location, or press Enter to skip to the next dimension object, if any

Ordinate

Specify feature location <next>: Specify an object snap location, or press Enter to skip to the next dimension object, if any

Radius

Select arc or circle <next>: Select an arc or a circle, or press Enter to skip to the next dimension object, if any

Note: DIMREASSOCIATE does not change the setting of DIMLFAC in a dimension. Use DIMOVERRIDE to clear dimension linear factors in legacy drawings.
