See what the others say but i think its a bug in the software

But is the box ticked as it won’t change if not

See if you can make work it with this file all dimensions hooked to the 6 bolt holes

Not sure what you mean Try watching a training video on manual dimension see if that helps

Check out the 290 dimension

What chief version are you using so i can share the file showing working

End to end snaps to its centre  shift away as there are so many things and it could be snapping  to other things it worked for me

Additionally, there are multiple objects present, such as another circle and dotted lines. I shifted the circle over and then connected the dimension to it.

use end to end dimensions as point to point snaps to its own marker not to objects its so you can place a dimension anywhere

Explode the block and remove the dimension labeled '225' that's using a marker. I believe you should use the point-to-point dimension tool instead of the end-to-end dimension tool.

also i notice that a dimension is connected to a marker

I'm uncertain about what you're attempting to do, but is it's blocked, perhaps a screenshot with a note explaining your intention might help.

Upon reflection, it is correct to say that the chief will only attempt to shift it and not alter its size.

I am not a expert  with this stuff, but delete your dimension and see if auto shown dimensions will work 

Clicking on the dimension that displays an object's size does not reveal the move type selectors; however, clicking on the dimension that extends to another object will display the handles.

Do you use these options as shown in image

Do you have photo examples

that worked

When i try to download i get a message unavailable, you try to download its, like something has happen when you uploaded the file not sure.

Up load your plan I am sure someone can get you going in the right direction

Give this file a go its a bit rough I think it will be good enough i drew over the pdf in a app concepts with apple pencil then exported it to dxf you just need to import scale it and give the lines elevation heights

elevations.dxf

I if you do trace the contours I would try tracing every second major contour and see if that works often less is best  you can always add
