With associative dimensioning, you can define the relationship between geometric objects and the dimensions that give their distance and angles.
When you associate dimensions, you are no longer dependent upon definition points and changes in geometric objects are reflected immediately in the dimension tied to the geometric object.
For example, when you modify model space objects, the updates are automatically applied to the associated paper space dimensions, eliminating the need for manual updating of this type of dimension when the associated model space geometric object is modified.

reassociate non-associative dimensions using the DIMREASSOCIATE command remove associative dimensions using the DIMDISASSOCIATE (DDA) command, and understand trans-spatial dimensioning. By using associative dimensioning, you are no longer dependent upon definition points, and the changes you make to geometric objects are reflected immediately. Associative dimensioning also makes automatic updating of model space geometric changes to paper space possible.
