Dimensions in Drawing view
(OP)
Hi all.
Does anyone know of any specific bugs in SW pertaining to adding dimensions to a drawing? Imnot able to dimension the drawing that is attached to ISO dim ref's.
Any help is appreciated.

Heres a file containing the stuff.
Open SS-DS Carlton.SLDDRW
Try adding a dimension in this drawing that are attached to entities in sketches ISO dim ref or ISO dim ref2.
The dimension is out in space.

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.
