Tip:
  • You can use the Attach Dimension command to repair detached dimensions or to replace any dimension with a new dimension of the same type. For example, you can use this command to replace a dimension on an arc with a new dimension on another arc, but not to a line.

  • When you use this command to reattach or replace a dimension, any prefixes, tolerances, and other formatting on the old dimension are applied to the new dimension.
