Auto dimensions functions do not work(appears for 1 sec)

Hi, I created a drawing from a design model of stl. I tried both ISO and ASME. The toolbar "auto create dimensions" appears for one second and immediately disappears. I tried three different models, three different computers, Windows 10 and Windows 11

@crashnok3230

Are you using paid commercial (or free trial) license, or are you using free personal license?

Everything I did is listed on the Timeline in the order in which I did the operations.

If you drag the marker back to the first operation - that is where you imported the stl.

The second operation was recognize face groups...

The final operation on the Timeline was to convert the mesh to a solid.

I am a student, so I used a free license. The model was created in another program, this is my first time using Fusion specifically for the auto draw feature. I will try your method today and let you know the result.

Thanks for your solution, everything works fine. There was a thread on the forum with the same problem, but no answer.
