Use the LIST command to display the properties of the dimension.
A dimension is considered associative even if only one end of the dimension
is associated with a geometric object. The DIMREASSOCIATE command displays
the associative and non-associative elements of a dimension.
Special Situations and Limitations
You may need to use DIMREGEN to update associative dimensions after
panning or zooming, after opening a drawing that was modified with an earlier
release, or after opening a drawing with external references that have been
modified.
Although associative dimensions support most object types that you would
expect to dimension, they do not support the following:
Hatches
2D solids
Objects with nonzero thickness
Images
PDF underlays
When selecting objects to dimension, make sure that the objects that you
select do not include a directly overlapping object that does not support
associative dimensioning such as a 2D solid.
Associativity is not maintained between a dimension and a block reference if
the block is redefined.
Dimensions created with QDIM are not associative but may be associated
individually with DIMREASSOCIATE.
For information about working with associative dimensions in combination
with previous releases, see
