Associative Dimensioning and X-Refs

Associative Dimensioning and X-Refs

Associative Dimensioning and X-Refs

(OP)
I'm working in AutoCAD 2006. I dimensioned an X-ref in paperspace and needed to zoom out to allow for some more room. After I zoomed out, I dimregen'd and it wouldn't do it.

If I actually copied the objects from the x-ref's dwg file and did the same exact thing, it works.

Why won't this work with an x-ref? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to make it work with an x-ref?

RE: Associative Dimensioning and X-Refs

I fail to see why zooming in and out should change your dimensions.

RE: Associative Dimensioning and X-Refs

(OP)
It doesn't change the dimensions. The dimensions remain in their original position and do not stick with the xref. When I dimregen, they do not reassociate with the xref after the xref has been moved or the zoom/scale has changed.

RE: Associative Dimensioning and X-Refs

Sometimes if you regen inside the viewport it helps.
