dimensions--once created, can't be touched

[aidlin darling]

I've got a file, brand new today, that when I draw a dimension, I can only modify it while it's selected immediately after creation. If I click off the dimension object, then go back to delete it or modify it, I can't select it. The only way to get rid of it is to undo-undo-undo until I get back to when I first made it. Is there something that controls or toggles this, or is it a bug?

Have you try other files? Or only happen to mentioned file ??

Never face this kind of problem before!!!!!!!!!!

Check your class settings. Perhaps you have set the options other than 'show/snap/modify others'

It sounds like what Kaare is suggesting will resolve the problem.

Go to Organize>Class Options and make sure you have Show Snap Modify others and now Show others, or Show Snap others.

Yes, that did it.

I didn't realize that VWorks would automatically make my dimensions as "dimensions" class, instead of the class that was active when I created it. Seems strange, are there any other tools that create objects on a class other than the active?

VW 11 allows you to create dimensions in the active class or in the Dimensions class.

Some of the plugins will go into special classes after using the Setup Steps.

VW 10 creates groups in the None Class. VW 11 creates groups in the current active class.
