    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks all. &amp;nbsp;The -DIMSTYLE, (note the dash) APPLY did the trick,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;On most drawings that I work with, if I modify DIMSTYLE, the dimensions on the sheet automatically update.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a 3rd party drawing now where if I modify DIMSTYLE, they do not update. &amp;nbsp;Not only do they not update, I can't seem to figure out how to manually force an update.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What's even more strange is that if I add a new dimension to the sheet, then change DIMSTYLE, even &lt;EM&gt;that&lt;/EM&gt; dimension wont update.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Help!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks, as always.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Possibly set the desired dimension style and do a&lt;BR /&gt;command DIMSTYLE "Apply" to all the existing&lt;BR /&gt;dimensions? If this does not work on those third-party&lt;BR /&gt;dimensions, direct the "bad" dimensions to a&lt;BR /&gt;temporary layer, add new dimensions on top,&lt;BR /&gt;then delete the contents of the temporary layer.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;For your third sentence, try opening a blank&lt;BR /&gt;drawing.dwg, insert the subject file and do&lt;BR /&gt;a save as (rewrites file header information).&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;???&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>At the commandline type -DIMSTYLE (there is a dash in the command name, don't skip it) &amp;lt;enter&amp;gt;then type APPLY t&amp;lt;enter&amp;gt; hen select those dimensions you wish to update.</description>

&lt;P&gt;[Try it and see!]&amp;nbsp; In quick experimenting, it updates most things [such as overridden element colors, arrowhead type and size, extension line suppression], but it does &lt;EM&gt;not&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;remove [one thing I tried -- there may be others] a text-content override, which I suppose is because that's not really&amp;nbsp;a property&amp;nbsp;of the &lt;EM&gt;Style&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp; definition.&amp;nbsp; I didn't try every possible variable element....&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So it seems the -DIMSTYLE command applies to all dimension styles, even ones that have overrides?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When you edit a dimension style should it not update all the dimensions using that style except the ones with overrides? That's what I'm trying to do.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The -DIMSTYLE APPLY approach imposes the current Dimension Style, &lt;EM&gt;and&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp; any current System Variable settings that may differ from those in that Style's definition,&amp;nbsp;on all selected Dimensions, of whatever their current Style or overrides.&amp;nbsp; So if you want to use it to "fix" Dimensions, it's necessary to set the desired Style current and clear any overrides [as suggested by others earlier] first.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For me, editing a Style definition &lt;EM&gt;does&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp; update the not-overridden properties of Dimensions using that Style.&amp;nbsp; I wonder what you may be doing differently than I am, if it's not working that way for you....&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ok so the -DIMSTYLE APPLY is only applied to dimensions that are a part of a selection, not every dimension in the drawing that is using the particular current style?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've kind of strayed from what I was initially trying to accomplish here but your response has been helpful for many other uses. Originally I just wanted to edit the Baseline Spacing in the Style Editor for a dimension style and have it update the spacing on any Baseline Dimension in my drawing using that dimension style. However, I've come to realize this is one component of the dimension style that is not updated when you edit a dimension style. Instead I used the DIMSPACE command for each set of dimensions.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sorry, off topic here but is there a command similar to -DIMSTYLE APPLY for other styles ie. TEXT, LEADER, POINT, etc to reset any overrides? Or is there a setting that will highlight any overrides in the properties palette for a selected object such as a leader or dimension?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;In my case, the style updated, but the text width factor did not. Looking at the properties tab, the "Text override" field contained "\H1x;\W0.8;&amp;lt;&amp;gt;".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Deleting it proved to be the solution.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PS, selecting a good and a not updated dimension, and looking at the properties tab, you may find other things that vary. This troubleshooting method worked for me in this case&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="image.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/646851iC3ABC620982ED8B2/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="image.png" alt="image.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This does not work for me in Autocad 2021.&amp;nbsp; At least it does not update the tolerance.&amp;nbsp; It will put the arrows out but it does not put in the tolerance that I have set for the dim style.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
