: dimreassociate

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select entities or [Disassociated]: (Select one or more dimension entities or type D, then press Enter.)

Entities in set: 2

Select entities or [Disassociated]:  (Select more dimension entities or type D, then press Enter or press Enter to stop selecting.)

Dimension entities  in the selection set highlight one by one and you are prompted to specify association points or entities for the currently highlighted dimension entity.

A marker displays at the current position of the edited dimension point:

• Indicates a non-associated dimension point.

• Indicates an associated dimension point.

Depending on the dimension entity types in the selection set, the following prompts display:

Linear (rotated and aligned dimensions):

Specify first extension line origin or [Select entity] <next>: (Use an appropriate entity snap to specify the first extension line origin, type S then press Enter to select an entity or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Specify second extension line origin <next>: (Use an appropriate entity snap to specify the second extension line origin or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Diameter

Select arc, circle or polyline arc <next>: (Select an arc, circle or polyline arc segment or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Radius

Select arc, circle or polyline arc <next>: (Select an arc, circle are polyline arc segment or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Angular

2 Lines:

Select first line <next>: (Select a line or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Select second line <next>:  (Select a line or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

3 Points:

Specify angle vertex or [Select arc, circle or polyline arc] <next>: (Use an appropriate entity snap to specify the angle vertex or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Specify first angle endpoint <next>:  (Use an appropriate entity snap to specify the first angle endpoint or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Specify second angle endpoint <next>:  (Use an appropriate entity snap to specify the second angle endpoint or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Arc or Circle:

Specify angle vertex or [Select arc, circle or polyline arc] <next>: (Type S, then press Enter or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Select arc, circle or polyline arc <next>: (Select an arc,  polyline arc segment or circle or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Ordinate

Specify feature location <next>: (Use an appropriate entity snap to specify the new dimension point or press Enter to skip to the next prompt.)

Leader
