IV8 IDW Sketch Dimensions Disappear

Since updating to IV8 we have noticed that when you sketch in an IDW, add dimensions to it and finish the sketch all the dimensions disappear.

Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere to turn these IDW Sketch dimensions on? Or is this a Bug?

Any insight would be appreciated!

Gee, I thought it was a feature enhancement. I had
in the past wanted to constrain drawing sketches with dims

but was dismayed to find those dims displayed after
exiting sketch mode. Now it is fixed! 😉

If it is a stand alone sketch RMB on the sketch and
select retrieve dimensions. I don't know how to show dimensions of a sketch
attached to a IDW view. I never wanted the dimensions, to a view attached
sketch, to show anyway. But then again I don't intend on speaking for
everyone else.

Steve,

 

This is a designed change in how we work with
Sketch dimensions starting in R8.

It is actually the same way to retrieve them. 
Retrieve the dimensions on the view and the sketch dimensions will show
up.

Thanks! I was one of the people who also hoped this would be done in R8. 🙂
