Dimensions in drawings move
Dimensions in drawings move
(OP)
I have several drawings that involve detailed views of section views. Each one of these details contain dimensions, and for some reason when I open these drawings up, I'll have some dimensions spread across the sheet and no longer where I had placed them. No matter how many times I fix these loose dimensions, they are always messed up when I re-open them. Is this a glitch in Solidworks, or does this have something to do with a detail of a setion view. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My fix was to add sketch points in the drawing, constrain them to the part, and then dimension the sketch points. It is an extra hassle but my dimensions are staying put.
