Saving Back Dimensions
If you set a global coordinate system or use the Transform editing tool, you
might have problems saving back dimensions. If you use a location query to
retrieve one or more dimensions and save the dimension back to the attached
source drawings, you might find that another location query will not retrieve
the dimension. In this case, you should detach the source drawing and reattach
it before repeating the location query.
Saving Back Hatch Patterns
When you create an associative hatch pattern, information is written to the
boundary objects. When you add such a hatch pattern to a save set, the
boundary is also added to ensure data integrity.
When you modify a queried hatch boundary object, the geometry is modified
and AutoCAD Map 3D automatically updates the hatch pattern. You are
prompted to add the boundary to the save set. Even if you answer Yes, the
hatch pattern might not be added to the save set. Check that the hatch pattern
is in the save set before you save back the changed objects.
When you add an associative hatch pattern to the save set, AutoCAD Map 3D
attempts to add the boundary objects that define the hatch pattern. If all
boundary objects are not available, you cannot add the hatch pattern to the
save set.
