rejoin dimensions

[MikeJarosz]

I am dimensioning a highly detailed brick exterior with lots of small dimensions. Working on it, the dimension string got broken up into multiple, separate dimensions. Is there a way to recombine the multiple dimensions back into a single string?

Sorry, no...just to break them apart.

uh, now where did I put that wish list?

I think you left it somewhere, it was getting too heavy to carry.

As we work on this project, a good reason for rejoining dims has emerged. With a team working on the project, a dimension string that should be one continuous line keeps getting parts of it pulled out of alignment because the parts are independent. I have had to realign them several times now. Putting multiple strings back into alignment can be annoying after the third or fourth time. At least if the dim was a single string it would be easier to realign than 9 or 10 dims along the width of a building.
