Unassociate a Dimension

[Bruce Kieffer]

OK... So I can't seem to get a dimension to unassociate from an object in VW 2010. Anyone figure it out? I use to be able to just drag it away (2008). Now the object moves with the dimension.

Select the dimension, cut, paste in place.

You are a genius Ray! I bet I battled this for a couple of hours today.

Also, from VW 2010 Help:

The association of any dimension with an object can be removed manually through the Edit Constraints dialog box (Modify > Edit Constraints).

Thanks Gytis.

I see that, and it works, but I'm not sure what it does because the Edit Constraints dialog box is not clear in it's meaning. I open it and it shows Coincidence and Coincidence in the list. Is that what you see? Deleting one or both has the same results of unassociating the dimension. It would be clearer for it to list "Associative Dimension" as the constraint, and then I could delete that.

I think you're right, there is room for clarity.

However, I usually see just one instance of , which I can gleefully delete (or not). Maybe you have 2 associations?

Maybe you have 2 associations?

How would I know? It seems to be either associated, or not.

2 pictures are worth 2 thousand words

2 constraints=2 instances of coincident

1 constraint=1 instances of coincident
