Dimension die but don’t get expanded when pasted along with the objects with Paste Remembers Layers enabled into a different document
I have a floor plan.
Some of the objects I have there have live dimensions attached.
I need to copy them all from an older revision of the file into a newer one.
- I select objects and their dimensions together
- I enable Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers panel’s flyout menu
- I copy them
- I open the different document and run Edit > Paste in Place command
It all looks fine... Objects get pasted where expected: dimensions into their own layer, other stuff to other layers.
No shy message about objects being expanded.
All dimensions are displayed as single entities within Layers.
But if I choose now to move objects — their attached dimensions won’t update!

More of it — I tried to move objects I copied in the ORIGINAL document, and Ai moved them back!
And when I moved one, the text form the attached dimension vanished, and then the app just crashed.
...and now I can’t reproduce it anymore. Argh!
