Drawing view question
Drawing view question
(OP)
I have some drawings view dimensions that have gone from grey to that olive color. I assume that this means they are not attached to the view any longer. Is there some way to re-attach them without have to re-dimension them. Also, the box surrounding the view has changed to a light blue color. I am not sure why this happened or how to change it back. I have included a picture to show you exactly what it looks like.

However, if the dimensions were placed manually in the drawing views, you should be able to re-attach by clicking on a dimension and dragging its attachment points to any piece of geometry. But that's only one click less than deleting & replacing.

In SW06 the colours are;
Dotted green line indicates the view is selected.
Pink dotted line with solid corners indicates the view is locked.
Green dotted line with solid corners indicates the view is selected and locked.
Red dotted line indicates dynamic highlighting.
There is no "light blue" listed.

You should take the time to go through the help menu. All of these are covered there. Although you are colored blind, it will tell or show you what they mean.

Solidworks has been saying for years that only Refernece dimensions CAN be re-attached. However, no one at the VAR has ever seen it work.
Guess I will have to just redo the dimensions for all 12 drawings. :(
