Dimension extension line trailing

When I move a detail complete with dimensions from one location on my drawing to another location, one or two dimensions remain in their original location and the extension line extends to the new location.

DIMASSOC attaches dimensions to nodes you clicked on when dimensioning: if you don't move those nodes those dimensions tend to stay tied to those locations even though you moved everything else.
Is that what is happening here?

Yes; that is what is happening. How do I pick up the nodes?

By moving the object the dimension is attached to... or you could disassociate the dimension with DIMDISASSOCIATE command (look up usage in HELP) before moving.

DIMASSOC is set at 2 (default). What number should I set it to?

What does HELP offer for an explanation? and which did you experiment and try that works for your need?

You can look that one up and help yourself, post back if you hit a snag or get stuck or see a weird behavior.
