mr. iagea Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 So, I'm beginning to wonder if anything works correctly the first time I do it. This time, I followed the manual's instructions to the letter, and the operation STILL didn't work. So, On a Sheet layer viewport, I am able to add dimensioning using "any of the dimensioning tools", according to the manual and the online Help, and those dimensions should change if the design layer changes. Well, they didn't change. I dimensioned a wall in the Edit Annotation section of the Sheet Layer viewport, using a simple unconstrained dimension (tried it with constrained dimensioning too, just to be sure). Then, I went back to the design layer, moved the wall, then went back to the Viewport, selected "Update All Viewports", and the dimensions did NOT change with the wall edit. Is there something I'm missing here? Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Do you have Associative Dimensioning turned on in document preferences? Quote Link to comment
mr. iagea Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yes, Associative Dimensioning is turned on, as is Auto-Associate, and the Dimension Class checkbox. Quote Link to comment
dcont Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I just tried it and it worked for me. I had associate dims checked and auto associate dims. make sure you dimension to a specific point so that you know the dims are associated. you should see a green or red box where the dim is associated to the object.

mr. iagea Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ah, that was it. I was dimensioning between two walls (as across a hallway, for example, for clarity for my client), rather than two vertices. Now I understand. Thanks very much, dcont. Quote Link to comment
