TIP The best way to handle the different dimension points for AutoCAD linework
is to create a number of AEC dimension styles for the individual objects. For
example, you can create a style named “Line,” which has only one dimension
chain for dimensioning line edges, or a dimension style named “Circle,” which
dimensions only circle centers and circle quadrants. For more information on
creating AEC dimension styles, see AEC Dimension Styles on page 3415.
You cannot define associative dimension points for the following AutoCAD
linework objects in the AEC dimension style:
■ Multilines
■ Splines
■ Ellipses
■ Blocks
■ AutoCAD dimensions
■ Leaders
■ Text
■ Surfaces
■ Images
■ OLE frames
■ Proxies
■ Solids
Associative Dimensions in External References
You can associatively dimension objects from external references in the
following cases:
■ Attach an external reference drawing to a host drawing, and dimension
objects from the external reference and the host drawing in the host
drawing.
■ Attach a nested external reference drawing to a host drawing, and
dimension objects from the external reference, its nested external reference
and from the host drawing in the host drawing.
