Functions of DIMASSOC system variable
Question
The system variable for associative dimensioning is DIMASSOC. You want to know how this variable functions.
Answer
Following is information about the DIMASSOC variable:
Type: Integer
Saved in: Drawing
Initial value: 2
Controls the associativity of dimension objects.
Possible settings:
| 0 | 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. |
| 1 | Creates non-associative dimension objects. The elements of the dimension are formed into a single object. If the definition point on the object moves, the dimension value is updated. |
| 2 | Creates associative dimension objects. The elements of the dimension are formed into a single object, and one or more definition points 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 is updated. |
The DIMASSOC setting is not stored in a dimension style.
