Hello
Recently my SW drawings are no longer showing the dimensions properly, i have attached a screenshot showing how it looks.
I dont know wether it is something that i have to change in the properties bar or something else?
someone please help with this
I believe that's a bug ... I get the same thing all the time (SW 2017 SP2) unfortunately. Though I would add that mine typically have to do with broken out section views or a detail view that was taken from a "Break View" specifically.
I have always seen occasionally also but never knew why - just used the work arounds as stated above.
Now at least I know why.
Sounds like it would be a good ER - but I have no subscriptions so can't submit one.
That is a normal thing with SW - dimensioning detail views the extension line goes to the end of the part edge or face, a pain because now you have to grab it and move it closer to your view....
I have run across this for many years. Not sure why but as John Stoltzfus mentions, try pulling the end of the extension line back to where you want it.
... and if it still refuses to cooperate the work around is to draw your own dimension line ... Boo, hiss, boo ...
That is what I do, just draw a line where the edge is, then dimension
