    Exclamation dimensioning failure

    All of a sudden for some reason, when I try to click into top view or any perspective view, a box pops up saying "Associative AEC Dimension update failed. Please update manually." It forces you to say OK, but when I click into it, all the dimensions I did on AEC automaticfally turn into boxes with a big "X" in it. Anyone know what this means? Any solutions?

    Btw, this problems seems to have showed up every since I tried to change the cut height of the cutting plane. Also, whenever I try to change the cut height again, the same error box pops up.

    Thanks for your help ! (in advance)

    Are you using PN?
    Which file are the dimensions in? (construct, view, or sheet)
    I'm not sure what the problem is, but if you post the file that might help.

    Thanks for the reply but I am not to sure what you are asking. What do you mean by PN? I have attached a copy of my file. However, I saved my file before the error box has popped up. But as long as you click into top view or any perspective view it should show up. Hope you can help and thanks in advacne.

    I don't know what's causing the problem without spending some time. But I did notice that when I went from a display setting of medium to low & back to medium, the dims fixed themselves. Something to check.

    P.S.: PN = Project Navagator.

    The last time I had issues something like this it was a dimstyle issue.

    You may also want to check what type of diplay config you have set up.
    I konw that the ootb dimstyle had issues when I installed it here. If I remember right we just needed to change the ootb of the box style, but for the life of me I can't remember what the exact issue was.

    Hope it helps.

    Thank you so much for all your help! I'm on a deadline so I appreciate it very much!

    I've changed the display config from med to low and back to med and it seemed to work out fine. Thank you again!
