Dimension Instability

[DGSketcher]

Dear Graphisoft,

When can we reasonably expect dimensions to be stable in our drawings?

I have today opened up floor plans to be issued urgently following the 27.1 update & found most of the linear dimensioning to the outside face of the walls has arbitrarily abandoned the wall thicknesses in favour of base lines and single faces. Upon trying to restore the dimensions numerous wall thicknesses reappeared in the same dimension and in one case an adjoining dimension line also restored itself.

Seriously, why are you bothering with structural & MEP system development & time wasting experimental features when you have primary CAD functionality which regularly fails at the most basic level? If Archicad can't reliably do these simple tasks then why would any discipline use it!

Hacked off again.

Have been complaining about this forever to graphisoft. Today I open a project only to find all the associative dimensions I put in have come un linked to the walls and disappeared. Only fix I have found is using hotspots which is incredibly un productive. When will this get fixed!

it shouldnt get fixed. the current process should be ditched for being so user-hostile  and be completely replaced with a user and time-friendly reliable tool thar benefits from the 3d info you already generated.
