Disassociate Dimension - projected intersection

SEC_MECH — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 04:40:46 GMT

I am dimensioning a viewbase object in AutoCAD 2020 paper space. The geometry is such that I have two lines at 135 degrees from each other. The intersection is filleted so it is not possible to pick up on their original intersection when dimensioning. I want to add a reference dimension from a face to the original intersection (before filleting). When I do this it is disassociated. I don't want to turn the associated dimension monitor off. How can I get AutoCAD to ignore the association of this one dimension?

Hi,

You can set DIMASSOC to "0" which would create the dimension, but the dimension would be exploded. The arrow head, text, lines will be as separate objects.

Thanks Vinod. The DIMASSOC is a work around for this one feature. My drawing is not at 1:1 so I need to be especially careful to remember to divide every dimension by 4.

Thanks ennujozlagam. I couldn't really understand how you meant to apply these commands to my situation. When I tried it, it wouldn't even let me choose the intersected lines.
