Ok, it's time to teach an old dawg new trick. I'm using ordinate dimension on piping plans. Sometimes when I go back into a plans the dimension will be out in left field. Is there a varible or toggle that I am forgetting to use to lock these in place? I have in the past just lock the layer which seemed to work, but I have to many clients and co-worker working on these drawing also.
Hope you all have a Great Merry Christmas.

Is there someplace you can pot a sample drawing? What version of software are you using?

Hey Darren;
We are using AutoCAD 2006 with CADWorx Pipe 2006. The information on the drawings are proprietary, so I can send a file out or plot outside. I have the DIMASSOC set to (2), which should snap the dimensions to the object in model space. I would rather do this than have it set to (1). If I set it to (1), I'll have to set the DIMLFAC for each viewport I have.
