Reference Dimensions in Assemblies

Reference Dimensions in Assemblies

Reference Dimensions in Assemblies

(OP)
I have created a reference dimension (RD2@Annotations) in an assembly  using Smart Dimension in the Sketch tab.  After I rebuild, the dimension disappears.  I have tried the following settings:

Right click Annotations folder and check the following:
-Display Annotations
-Show Feature Dimensions
-Show Reference Dimensions
-Show DimExpert Annotations
-Enable Annotation View Visibility

Document Properties/Detailing, check Display all types, and display assembly annotations.

I created a new assembly with two dummy parts and can see the reference dimension with no problem, so it does not seem to be a system setting.

So - What can I do to see the reference dimensions in the first assembly?  And is there any way to access a list of reference dimensions?

Thanks

Make sure under View tab, Annotations are set to show.
