Re: dimension problems autocad 2008

Your dimensional lines are stretching likely because they are
"attached" to the object you are moving. You can turn this on and off
as you wish. The help section of AutoCAD should be really good at
describing how to do that (now that you know that that is the
problem). There is also a command that lets you redefine what a
dimension is attached to (I think, but am not positive, that it is
"attre" or "attredefine"; I do not have AutoCAD on this cocmputer, so
I can not know for sure - it's been a whilse since I've used AutoCAD).
Dimensions can be either attached or unattached, and it sounds like
you want unattached dimensions.
