fixing exploded dimensions

[caderudite]

People, you can imagine how frustrating to work on a drawing with exploded dimesions. Does anyone had this problem and created a lisp programme to fix all the dimensions into normal. I received one drawing with all the dimesions exploded and has to modify by today. How could i thank you (whoever has this lisp)

What about REASSOCIATE or DIMREASSOCIATE if 2002 or 2004?

Don't remember if reassociate is available with 2000i, but might try help.... better yet, zip the file and send to me at my email and I will reassociate and send back as R2000 dwg.

thanks for the help. But, my office won't allow me to do that. Perhaps you can send me the arx and lsp file of the reassociate (if it's possible) to

thanks a lot

Not possible - is part of R2004 which I have. Well.....I tried to help.

Not just that, but dimreassociate only works on associated dimesions (i.e. dims that are not exploded). You have dimensions that are exploded (or created with dimaso set to 0), so you just have lines, text and your arrows. No association what so ever. Dimreassociate or reassociate won't work at all on those.

Whether or not Rudy's program does that (since he didn't come right out and say it) I don't know. But I've never seen a program that does that. It's extrememly difficult to take a bunch of lines, solids/blocks/lines and text, read that information and create a new associated dimension from it.
