Once you make a CAD from view, that is no longer a dimension string, it's a bunch of CAD lines and numbers. It won't keep the defaults of a dimension string, because it's not.

Simply not true.

 

Well..on my machine they are not dimension strings, they are still dimensions, but all individual dimensions.

Wether they display in, on , or under the dimension line seems to be random.

Have you sent it in as a bug?

Just wanted to thank you all for working so hard trying to help me resolve this issue!

I hope eventually I may stumble on the solution, until then I will deal with it.

Thanks!

Post a test plan file and someone will figure it out. Maybe something we have not thought of until we see the situation.

Any observations as to the type of dimension line used and what it is snapped to ?

 

The ones I had that were changing to the default display style seem to be also converted to point to point measurements.

I wouldn’t overthink this one.  Super easy to reproduce.  Just needs to be reported if you hope to see it fixed.  Try the workaround I mentioned previously too.  Seriously only takes a matter of seconds and your problems are solved.

For the purposes of the discussion they’re definitely still dimensions and not “CAD lines and numbers”.

Not sure who this was directed at, but I personally have not and I most likely won't.  It's not something that has ever affected my workflow and I currently don't see an reason it ever would.
