    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.

    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.
