What are Associative, Non-associative, & Exploded dimensions?

Dimensions can be associative, non-associative or exploded. Associative dimensions adjust to changes in the geometric objects that they measure.

  • Associative dimensions. Automatically adjust their locations, orientations and measurement values when the geometric objects associated with them are modified.
  • Non-associative dimensions. Selected and modified with the geometry they measure. Non-associative dimensions do not change when the geometric objects they measure are modified.
  • Exploded dimensions. Contain a collection of separate objects: lines, arrows, arcs and text, rather than a single dimension object. Exploded dimensions do not change when the geometric objects they measure are modified.
