ABSTRACT
AutoCAD has both automatic and associative dimensioning, the terms meaning: https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table">
a) Automatic:
when an object to be dimensioned is selected, the actual dimension text, arrows, extension lines, etc. are all added in one operation.
b) Associative:
the arrows, extension lines, dimension text, etc. which ‘make up’ a dimension are treated as a single object.
