Has anyone ever seen this issue?
In Acad 2008, I made an annotative dim and I could not delete it! In the end, I had to explode it and save the file, close then re-open it and I could delete the exploded parts.
Until I saved, closed and reopened, even after exploding it, it would just come back! Evil thing...:twisted:

Anyone?

Do you have "Express Tools"? If so go to Express>Tools>System Variable Editor and scroll through to see if you see some likely suspects. You might try making sure pickfirst=1.

I'll look at the list in Express Tools...
And I actually remembered PICKFIRST!! but that was not it...

Thanks again.
