    Default Re-associating dimensions automation

    Hey All!

    So I'm not even sure if this is even possible, but I need a Lisp routine (or any other executable!) that will re-associate dimensions automatically. Yes... I'm lazy. We draw aluminum frames that often times repeat and it would be awesome to not have to re-associate 5 gazillion dimensions! I do realize that the one caveat to this is that the dimension nodes have to be correct before executing (hopefully) a nifty routine. Any help and or foresight would be greatly appreciated! Hope someone is looking for a challenge! Thanks in advance!!!

    P.S.
    If you need more info, please let me know!

Unfortunately I think I'll have to keep looking in my spare time (like that's a thing...) unless someone has any other suggestions! Again, thank you for the reply! I truly appreciate it!!!
