When applying dimensions to the drawing how can you get the dimensions to come in with the specified layers rather than the drawings current layer.
I believe it is something connected with mapping is this correct?

When you say "specified layers" what exactly do you mean?

[Tommac]

THe dimensions have been formatted ie layer, text etc

Well...you can have a specific layer for dimensions. Then set your dimension style (lines and text) to be by-layer. You can set your dim style to have a specific color for text and/or lines, so say you want the dim lines to be red with white text - you can set this in your dim style and no matter what layer you are on they will be red and white. Is this what you mean??
