Have you ever had little, yellow badges show up next to your dimensions in AutoCAD?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

It\u2019s a warning that something\u2019s wrong. In fact, this is the visual cue that the dimension has lost its associativity with its object.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"annotation<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s often unexpected and, quite frankly, unknown to a lot of users. It\u2019s called Annotation Monitor<\/a>, which by default, is not on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take note of these two icons in the Status Bar<\/a>. In AutoCAD, the big plus sign is the toggle to turn it on or off. And, when it\u2019s on, you\u2019ll also see the Annotation Monitor icon show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Annotation<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As Easy as 1, 2, 3…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So other than a visual indicator that your dimension has lost its associativity (or never had any), what\u2019s a user to do? Yes, you could turn them off with the Status Bar<\/a> button and go about your merry way, but I don\u2019t recommend that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warning icon is also a functional item and allows you an easy method of fixing the issue. First, simply hovering over the yellow badge will display a tooltip<\/a> telling you what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Click on it to reveal a small pop-up menu giving you the option to either delete the dimension or re-associate it to its object. Choose the latter and you\u2019ll get instructions on how to either select the correct extension line origins or to just re-select the object.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Annotation<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Make It Part of Your Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My example in this post has focused on the surprise appearance of the warning badges. But now that you know what they are, I would suggest using the AutoCAD Annotation Monitor to continually check your dimensions. At the very least, turn it on to check for issues before releasing your drawing to the checker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
