Dimension Anchor Points

Since I switched to 2006 (running SP1), I can not move the anchor points of the dimenison's extenstion line. Is this new in this release, or am I missing a simple setting?
The dimensions come in anchored off my view, and I can not move them to look right. I can create a reference dimension in the drawing view that will let me modify the point, but this takes double the time.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

This is possible bug I have SW looking into the issue now. There are some that will move and others that will not. I think this started in SP1.0.

Keep us posted Scott, this has never worked really well in drawings and gets broken between versions and service packs. I think it gets confused between whether to reconnect it or change the gap. Usually works well in the model sketches since there is no gap control option like
drawings.

Here is the SPR# I got this morning. It started only in SP1.0, SP0.0 worked fine.

SPR# 287662 - Can't drag few dimension extension lines in this drawing file.

I also have this same problem. I am not able to drag my extension lines like I used to so my dimensions have lines running through them which makes my drawings look very unprofessional.
 
See above for SPR#, if you want to get this fixed sometime. Contact your VAR and give them that SPR# and turn it in as a bug and tell them you want to be added to the list for this SPR.

The more that turn this in the faster it will get fixed.
