Dimension nodes disappearing randomly

Andrew T
Participant

I've been having issues with dimensions disappearing randomly from projects for quite some time. Unsure if it's an issue with the complex profile or a bug. It's been notably happening when jobs have been saved and re-opened but not to all walls/nodes. I'd usually end up redoing them, republishing, and noticing  down the line they've disappeared again. Any ideas on what could possibly be causing this, or suggestions on what I can try to fix this?

 

I have noticed that for the nodes that aren't missing, are the ones that aren't the reference line

We just started having issues in 3 different V27 files with dimensions disappearing. It's not a reno filter issue and it's not a structure display issue as far as I can tell. Always the same walls/objects, and if we add the dimensions back in, they'll eventually disappear, usually after switching to another view and then back. I've tried deleting the dimension string and adding a new one, but the same thing happens. As a core function of any CAD/BIM software, dimensioning needs to work 100% of the time, but this is extremely frustrating and completely unacceptable.
