Dragging dims

Dragging dims

(OP)
In SW2004, we should be able to drag a dimension from one view to another and it "jumps" to the correct geometry. I have never got this to work. Has anyone else seen this problem, or have tried it?

RE: Dragging dims

Yes. Hold down the Shift key to move the dim when dragging & dropping ... I usually drop it very close to the feature being referenced.

Holding down the Ctrl key will copy the dim.
