Associative Dimensions Attached to Dimension Points

Associative dimensions attached to dimension points are enabled when the Settings > Associative Dimensions > Associativity of Dimensions has been selected. Associative dimensions are attached to their targets: when you move the target, for example a wall, the dimension follows the change if possible. You can add associative dimensions to lines in the basic geometry and the following building components:

• Walls
• Doors
• Windows

Distance dimensions are attached to the selected points or midpoints.

Note

• If Settings > 2D Constraint Manager is enabled, all the dimensions to be added are automatically associative dimensions.
• If you want to add associative dimensions to walls in projects created with 10.2 or older software versions, first refresh the geometry of the walls.
• You can also associate a dimension to a line, hatch or macro. In this case, deleting the element also deletes the associated dimension, but moving the element does not move the dimension. See Dimension Associated to a Line, Hatch or Macro.
