Dimension Anchor Points

Dimension Anchor Points

Dimension Anchor Points

(OP)
Since I switched to 2006 (running SP1), I can not move the anchor points of the dimenison's extenstion line.  Is this new in this release, or am I missing a simple setting?
The dimensions come in anchored off my view, and I can not move them to look right.  I can create a reference dimension in the drawing view that will let me modify the point, but this takes double the time.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

RE: Dimension Anchor Points

This is possible bug I have SW looking into the issue now. There are some that will move and others that will not. I think this started in SP1.0.

RE: Dimension Anchor Points

Keep us posted Scott, this has never worked really well in drawings and gets broken between versions and service packs. I think it gets confused between whether to reconnect it or change the gap. Usually works well in the model sketches since there is no gap control option like
drawings.

RE: Dimension Anchor Points

Here is the SPR# I got this morning. It started only in SP1.0, SP0.0 worked fine.

SPR# 287662 - Can't drag few dimension extension lines in this drawing file.

RE: Dimension Anchor Points

I also have this same problem. I am not able to drag my extension lines like I used to so my dimensions have lines running through them which makes my drawings look very unprofessional.

RE: Dimension Anchor Points

See above for SPR#, if you want to get this fixed sometime. Contact your VAR and give them that SPR# and turn it in as a bug and tell them you want to be added to the list for this SPR.

The more that turn this in the faster it will get fixed.
