Dimensioning Question (X17)

Good morning,

 

I'm trying to understand / correct this dimension behavior...

 

I generated plan Auto Exterior Dimensions.  The dimensions look good - with the wall width dimensions placed neatly to the side where they should be:

But, when I grab and relocate the dimension line to where I want them, these wall width dimension locations get screwed up and I have to go through and manually reposition them:

From what I can tell, it's only the dimension values that do not fit between the extensions and are originally shifted to the side.  Any tips / techniques?

 

Thanks once again,

 

Jim

 

P.S. Using X17 with plan originally begun in X16.

Update --

 

I submitted this to tech support and got the reply below.  Appears to be a glitch that they are looking into.

Hello,

Thanks for this additional information! It does appear to be the same issue as prior. Our development team is aware of this issue, so I have updated them with additional information. It appears the issue is related to changing the dimension text’s position to be above the line in the defaults, then making manual changes to the dimension.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. If you have any further questions about this issue in the meantime, please let me know.

Best Regards,
Roy

Again the programers have to much time on their hands and not enough useful work to do!!!!!

I know you have it in you to say something nice to the programmers. Just do it! Do it for fun if not just to be kind. I'm sure you will get many people to give you upvotes and offset those nasty red downvotes. Plus, I bet that saying something nice will make a number of peoples day. ^_^ Come on now... Put a nice big smile on your face, and say something nice! :)

Update - there was a big X17 update today.  I looked at the change log notes and it appears they corrected this.  Nice!
