have an array of holes on plate that all on a straight line with a dim ext line going thru the center of all them

however I now need to move all of them over 3/8"
ussually i just select the object that the dim goes to an move it by changing the value of the dim
but how do you move multiple object the same way..

just lazy i guess..

Is this a family? A drafting view and lines and circles? Not clear what it is...

If it is a family a reference plane that the voids (holes) are constrained to would permit you to move the holes parametrically.

If it is a drafting view of lines and circles...select them all and use the move tool?

not family

just detail dwg in a drafting view

items on dim line are just circles...

but only one of them is constained to the dim ext line
want all of them to be.

You can add dimension to all of them and lock. Moving one, will move the others that are constrained to the locked dimensions.
