Drawing Detached Dims

When in a drawing you have dims that become detached because you changed how
a feature was built or you chang the referneces to another part that is
similar, how do you reattach these dims. All the dims I want are there
they are just detached. I see that a dim that has not become detached has
the drag handles but onec they are detached they are gone. Is this supposed
to happen.

That's the way I always remember it - you have to just recreate the
dimension. I must say that ACAD certainly has the upper hand in changing
where dimensions attach. Hopefully I've missed something simple all these
years and there is, in fact, a solution.

Of course not, but that's the way it's been since 98+ or earlier. Stupid,
but SW doesn't seem in the slightest bit inclined to fix it.
