How do you change a Dimension's 'Element Class' from "Primary" back to "Dimension"

what about in the properties can you change it there?

Thanks Lorys, I tried that but it notice the Class under Element Information/General is grayed out so you can't modify the class of a Dimension from Properties.

If you use Change Attributes you're not given an option for Dimensions.

Any other ideas possibly in Configuration?

not sure how you managed that. But you should be able to the dimension class back using vba. 

Good suggestion. Thanks. I'll look for one.

Hi Christina,

I am not sure whether your question is still active (because posted in 2019), but because you answered Tuan's answer, it seems it still is.

I have accidently changed some of my dimension's Element Class from "Dimension" to "Primary"

Do you remember what tool did you use?

and I am unable to change them back.

Even when it's weird a bit, such "conversion" can be done in one way only. Even when element can be converted to Primary or Construction class from another class (e.g. Dimension, Patter Component), an opposite way is not possible.

I would like to know where to find the settings for this and possibly Key-In command or Configuration Setting.

I think there is no such key-in. In fact, it makes sense: Any element can be primary or construction class, but only exactly defined element types can be specific classes (only dimension element can be dimension class). So probably there was no reason to implement such key-in.

I agree with Tuan that VBA should be able to solve it, because (based on MicroStation VBA help) it seems Class property can be set.

With regards,
