Losing Dimensions again

Once again I am experiencing loss of dimensions in 2D drawings.

I have a cross section of a single-cylinder engine and I switch between it and the assembly model as I fix design errors. If I dimension a part and then move to the Select arrow, that dimension or a number of dimensions may/will disappear.

This caused me some real problems back in version 9 and I had to republish a drawing set because so many dimensions would disappear just by opening the 2D drawing and I didn't catch the problems because the 2D drawings had already been checked.

I think we've taken a giant step backwards here.

Add that to the dimension tasks that simply won't work because the underlying code doesn't support them and this is a real can of worms.

As always, I find that moving the DWG file to AutoCAD will solve the problems quite nicely, much as I dislike the multiple steps and time waste.

Man Mike, sometimes it seems like you're a Murphy's Law lightning rod for Alibre. You should quit where you're working now and become a beta tester for them, Alibre would be the most reliable CAD program on the market :wink:
