dimension edit

Hi,

I've tried to modify the text of a linear dimension; I'm doing it through memo with the ACAPI_Element_Change function. Everything works fine, but:

linear dimension is defined by static and relative points. When I'm re-typing the dimension text, the parts of dimension chain connected to the hotspots of elements are fine, but the others that are defined as static (means I click on empty space while creating the dimension) just disappear. I hope I explained it right...
I tried to set masks because I thought that maybe I'm deleting some parameters somewhere, but it wont work.

Any ideas? I dont belive this is a bug..

I work in Xcode 3.1.2 & API Devkit 14.2550, but I had the same problem in AC13.

Thanks
