Problem

Dimensions are placed as separate elements even though the association box is checked on under the element dimension tool.

Solution

Use the following keyin:

KEYIN: set compatible dimension off

MicroStation V7 had a compatible setting in order to drop the dimensions upon placement. MicroStation V8 no longer has this setting in the preferences, but a key-in has been added in order to do the same.

-Turning OFF compatibility for dimensions seems to make them not
compatible.
-SET COMPATIBLE DIMENSIONS OFF seems to work in reverse.

Dimensions are placed as separate elements even though the association.
