2Initial value:
Creates exploded dimensions. There is no association between the
various elements of the dimension. The lines, arcs, arrowheads, and
text of a dimension are drawn as separate objects.
0
Creates non-associative dimension objects. The elements of the di-
mension are formed into a single object. If one of the definition
points of the dimension moves, the dimension is updated.
1
Creates associative dimension objects. The elements of the dimension
are formed into a single object, and one or more definition points
2
of the dimension are coupled with association points on geometric
objects. If the association point on the geometric object moves, the
dimension location, orientation, and value are updated.
DIMASSOC is not stored in a dimension style.
Drawings saved in a format previous to AutoCAD 2002 retain the setting of
the DIMASSOC system variable. When the drawing is reopened in AutoCAD
2002 or later, the dimension associativity setting is restored.
