Hello first time user here. I'm trying to add a linked text value after a dimension that is tied to an expression. In modeling it appears to work as you can see the value change as its supposed to. The issue I have is when the part is taken to drafting and the sketch dimensions are viewed via feature parameters the expression becomes null or the link is broken. I can relink it but that's not the outcome I was looking for. Again the text is the text that can be added before, after, above or below a dimension in modeling.

Thanks for any help.
