Dimension Changes when moved

Has anyone dimensioned something in a DWF file and then moved the dimension and found that it will change the dimension value. This occurs when the entire dimension is moved, not just one end or the other.

Is this a bug or is there something that can be done to keep this from occuring?

Thanks,
Dan

Just tried to duplicate the same, no luck though. Would you be able to provide more specifics?

Hey, thanks for the response. I'm not sure how to better describe it so I've attached a dwf file that this is occuring on. The 17.11 dimension near the bottom center of the page is one dimension we are seeing this on. If you move it to another spot on the page (try upper left) it changes to 16.98.

Dan,

I just took a look at your file and am not seeing a problem unless I drag it almost off the paper. One piece of info that may help: dimensions are designed to detect the scale of viewports automatically, based on the location of the first point of the dimension. If you are using viewports on your drawing and move the dimension to a different viewport, or outside of a viewport completely, you will see the dimension change in value. It may seem kind of weird, but it's designed to help keep the dimension accurate.
