updating of dimensions attached to nodes?
I must be doing something wrong . . .
I created a part, then created a drawing and dimensioned it. Later, I went back and changed the part, and the new part is shown correctly in the drawing, but many of the dimensions were not changed, The dimensions in question appear to be attached to nodes, not the actual part geometry -- when the geometry changed, the nodes stayed where they were and the dimensions stayed with the nodes.
Is there a way to get the nodes to move where they belong?
For reference, I added most of my own dimensions because I was quite dissatisfied with the automatic ones placed by AD. For example, there are a number of dimensions to the ends of center marks -- the center marks moved, but the dimensions didn't. I was able to place dimensions this way with Inventor so I just sort of assumed that it would work in AD as well (there I go, assuming again).
Thanks in advance for your tips . . . if I don't see a way to recover, then I will just delete all of the affected dimensions and re-insert them <heavy sigh>.
Regards,
Greg
