Hi All,
More than occasionally, I have dimensions that have been placed in paperspace "go nuts." That is to say, when the drawing is opened, or a viewport is copied and pasted, the (correctly) placed dimensions fly off and end up somewhere WAY off the paperspace page. It seems that the only remedy I've found so far is to delete the offending viewport, and sometimes the layout, and re-dimension everything. That sometimes doesn't fix it. Deleting the dimension objects and re-dimensioning doesn't seem to help; it keeps happening.

Interestingly, certain drawings do this upon opening, and a CTRL-Z will place the dimensions in their correct place. If I try to print to PDF or save, close, and re-poen the drawing, it happens again. There may be a correlation between drawing with 3D objects (as I do much of my work in 3D) but I've seen it happen on 2D objects as well.

Very annoying, time consuming, and frustrating. Any ideas and/or solutions to this?


Thanks!
