dimensions take flight

dimensions take flight

dimensions take flight

(OP)
Dimensions take flight after any of them are modified. They all scatter, and I have to reorganize them, only to have them scatter again if any of the dimensions are modified. Does anyone know a fix for this please???

thanks!!
Matthew

Its not on every part, but only the odd, important ones :p

 

RE: dimensions take flight

Can you attach an example file or screen captures - I don't think I've ever heard of this one before, or I don't understand the problem.

RE: dimensions take flight

were these dimensions manually placed or retrieved from part sketches?

RE: dimensions take flight

(OP)
They where all manually placed to constrain the part drawn.  It's a shaft, which has its profile revolved extruded. Anytime any of the cut or profile changes, all dimensions on within the part seems rearrange themselves in far off locations :(
