I have never figured out why it happens or how to stop it. Some projects it happens continuously some not at all.

AHA!
i think i have figured out why mine are disappearing.

i am clicking on a wall multiple times. in doing so i am associating the dimension string to that wall two times. in most cases i am doing it to dimension the stud thickness at the end of a wall. whenever i correct another dimension it seems the program "auto-corrects" all of my dimension strings to NOT associate with a wall twice. i think archicad 10 is extremely touchy with how you associate the dimension strings and will "auto-correct" anything it deems wrong...any similar circumstances?

When it happens to me there are usual parts of each dimension string that remain. So that if there are lets say 10 things that are dimensioned in on string maybe 3 or so will be left. Is this what you are experiencing as well?
