Any help is appreciated.

What is up with Mooload? Is anyone else having problems opening/downloading from there or is it just me? 1.00KB/sec (yes, that's 1.00) is ridiculous...

RE: Dimensions in Drawing view

Ok, it finally downloaded...
I don't think it's a bug, I think that you simply can't dimension from, say, an edge of the part to a sketch that is in the part and visible in the drawing.
I tried it with some of my own models and had the same result.
You'll probably need to add sketch points in your drawing to get the dims you want.
