Dimensions not appearing

When trying to create Dimensions all I get is a line. No arrows, no text.

Hi michaelbajko,

please attach an example drawing - thats the easiest way to see what is going on. Thanks!

Main Menu > Edit > Application (or 'Drawing Preferences', applies to the current drawing only!) > Defaults for new drawings > Dimension settings

and check to see if you have any values in the fields - Text height, Arrow size etc....

Untick the check box and adjust the values to suit what you need.

*Good practice would be to set up dedicated layers for outlines, dimensions etc..
