Modify Existing Dimensions
You can modify all components of the existing dimension objects in a draw-
ing either individually or by using dimension styles.
Apply a New Dimension Style to Existing
Dimensions
When you create a dimension, the current dimension style is associated with
that dimension. The dimension retains this dimension style unless you apply
a new dimension style to it or set up dimension style overrides.
You can modify existing dimensions by applying a different dimension style.
If you make changes to a dimension style, you can choose whether to update
the dimensions associated with that dimension style.
You can restore an existing dimension style or apply the current dimension
style, including any dimension style overrides, to selected dimensions.
To apply the current dimension style to existing dimensions
