Reattaching Dangling Dimensions To reattach dangling dimensions: Right-click the dangling dimension and click Reattach. SOLIDWORKS® highlights the dangling point with an X on the extension line. Select a point on the model to reattach the dangling point to the model. The dangling point reattaches to the new selection. The status bar at the bottom of the SOLIDWORKS window informs you where to select on the model. A message informs you when you make an invalid selection. If you do not want to select a point on the model, press Enter to move the X to the next point.
