 I run across this mostly when I use the &amp;quot;Modify Solid Entity&amp;quot; tool

&lt;p&gt;Seems to me to be a rather obvious method. &amp;nbsp;If you know it is broke, and where it is broken, why just say it is broke, why not also show where it is broken?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: dimensions in 3d losing association..

&lt;p&gt;On the other hand if you displayed only the offending association you can fix it with 3 clicks Modify Element, Id extension, and a snap.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: dimensions in 3d losing association..

&lt;p&gt;Create a new post starting&amp;nbsp;the subject with CR: ... - to allow better searching for CRs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the time being I think the dimension audit does a great job because it also zooms to each issue and allows a direct correcting in place.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When changing elements &amp;quot;substantially&amp;quot; (not just moving a vertex) they are &amp;quot;recreated&amp;quot; and get a new ID. Associations only know the old ID. Associated dimensions become &amp;quot;dashed&amp;quot; as a warning. You most offen will be able to &amp;quot;Reassociate Dimensions&amp;quot; to the &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; elements in one go (the last of the dimensioning functions) if that happens. Select all dimension elements first -&amp;quot;Element Selection&amp;quot; &amp;gt; [Show Extended Settings] &amp;gt; [Element Type] tab &amp;gt; &amp;quot;Dimension&amp;quot; - &amp;nbsp;then select &amp;quot;Reassociate Dimension&amp;quot;. You should also utilize the &amp;quot;Dimension Audit&amp;quot; (in Utilities) to find non associated dimensions and correct them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;could you reach the solution to the problem. Did you also try the same with the 2D dgns, in my case they are also loosing the association for 2D dgn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
