Dimensioning Help

There will be a very easy answer to this.....



For some reason Autocad is now asking me to enter the dimension text. The dimension is then made up of individual parts.



When I try to change the point I want to dimension I can't select the dim as a whole entity.



What settings have I inadvertantly altered??



Thanks Roy,

'Exploding' pointed me in the right direction.

I had the 'DIMASSOC' system variable set to 0

(Using AutoCad 2006)

Cheers,

why is autocad exploding your dimensions, is the question. I am on release 2000, so you may have "options" I do not have.

but I am not finding anything that automatically explodes dimensions as I draw them.

hope that helps.

Look up dimaso. You probably have it turned off.
