circle dimesion does not change

circle dimesion does not change

circle dimesion does not change

(OP)
In AutoCad 2005, if I have a dimensioned circle and change the diameter through the use of the properties dialog box, sometimes the dimension will automatically change to the new value and sometimes it doesn't change. Why? What is the setting that regulates this? DIMASO is on.

RE: circle dimesion does not change

DIMASSOC should be 2

RE: circle dimesion does not change

Sounds like maybe sometimes your dimension is associative and sometimes not. When the dimension does not change, select it and look at its properties to see if it is associative.

Options...user preferences...Make dimensions associative.

DIMASSOC is 2, DIMASO is on. When I select an unchanging dimension, its properties show that it is an associative dimension. Sometimes redraw corrects the dimension, sometimes not (on the same drawing).

RE: circle dimesion does not change

It may not be snapped to the circle object.  Is it dimensioning to intersections of the circle and some other object?  Is it a paper space dimension and a model space circle?
