sivapathasunderam Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hello anyone; Road is an Xref file, it is revised, but the dimensions should change automatically What I have to do? (I am using AutoCAD 2013 or Is there is a Lisp) thanks Siva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Have you tried reloading the xref via the External References palette? The status of the xref should show an exclamation point and the words "Needs reloading". Right click on the xref then choose Reload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 ReMark, he is asking how to make the dimensions update to the changes in the XREF which has already been reloaded. Can dimensions be associated with XREFs? My test says they can but they break when a change is made in the XREF. I think you have to manually edit the dimensions to the changes in the XREF.

Hello What about the model space & layout space? (Object is in model, dimensions are in layout) not clear for me, sometimes works sometimes no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Once again, even associated dimensions won't update to changes in an XREF it doesn't matter what space they are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halam Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hello What about the model space & layout space? (Object is in model, dimensions are in layout) not clear for me, sometimes works sometimes no I don't really know what this is based on either, but did you check DIMREASSOCIATE in both xref and master file? http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/acadblog/dimensions-and-associativity/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dwannab Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Had this issue with xrefs and dimensioning in (paperspace (not my idea)). All you have to do is issue the DIMREGEN command. Not sure why this even exists. It should automatically do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
