I am unable to dimension anything in the attached part. I first noticed the problem when I was making a drawing from this part and was unable to dimension a detailed view. Then I went back to the part and tried to dimension the holes and spacing but it keeps saying "Failed to create dimension for selected face or feature" for any of the holes or outer diameter. Please help. I'm using SW premium 2009, SP 4.0

Since the holes not are round it is very tricky to add dimensions to all those.
The only round thing is the outer contour of the part.
Is it really supposed to be elliptical holes?

  Sven - you are right, they are ellipses (and have to be ellipses). I got the correct advice to solve this problem from our local SW support vendor.
  They advised to add construction lines for the holes in order to dimension them in the drawing. It worked like a charm.
  And to dimension them in the original SW part you have to use the ellipse vertices in the sketch.
  Thanks for looking into this.
