Deleting Dimension Associativity

When the 2D Constraint Manager is enabled, all the dimensions to be added are associative dimensions. When the 2D Constraint Manager is disabled, you can disable the associativity of a single dimension by clicking the button Associativity of dimension in the auxiliary function menu when adding the dimension. The auxiliary function menu opens by right-clicking.

  • Dimension is associative.
  • Dimension is not associative.

If you want to remove the associativity from a single dimension already added to the drawing, delete the dimension and add it again.

Note: Associative dimensions are enabled, when the keyword associative_dimensions= 1 is set in the DRAFT keyword group. You can disable the associative dimensions by setting the keyword value to associative_dimensions= 0. When you disable associative dimensions, all associative dimensions are detached from their targets when the drawing is opened and saved. When you add new dimensions, they will not be attached to their targets.
