What are dangling relations or dimensions and how do I fix them?
Relations or dimensions dangle when the entity (external to the sketch) to which the relation or dimension is applied either changes or is deleted. The dimension or relation is unresolved. For example, if you dimension to the corner of a block in a sketch, but you then insert a cut feature that removes the corner before the sketch, the dimension dangles because the corner no longer exists
Delete or repair the dimension. You can also use the Replace functionality under Entities in the Display/Delete Relations PropertyManager.
