Dimensions are not showing up.

ryanmagid — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 10:41:32 GMT

I can't seem to get any dimensions to display. I have reinstalled Fusion twice but I can't see dimensions ever since Fusion did an update. I can see dimensions when I first draw the sketch but never again. I have show Dimensions in the Sketch Pallet but it doesn't do anything. I am connected online and do not have any update errors. I am fairly new to Fusion so I might be doing something wrong but I can't figure it out.

Hello,

Could you please share the f3d, it will help us to better understand what is the problem?, I am not able to reproduce this issue.

What operating system are you running Fusion on?

What happens if you disable 3D Sketch?

Does the behavior persist in a new file - or only in this file?

Windows 10. It happens in all files. I just tried to make a new file and I can't see anything. Last time I used Fusion was about a month ago and I had no issues.

Hi,

Dimensions do not appear automatically but must be created.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to embed the GIF, so it is in the attachment.

Thank you! I have been modeling in Maya and 3DMax for 20 years but am still new to Fusion. I don't remember having to add the dimensions in the last file I made but I must have. Thanks for the GIF!

Hi, Dimensions are not showing up when zoomed in. I am trying to create a base template referenced from an pre existing drawn file, on one plane. When in 'top' mode I can use the dimensioning tool to see the dimensions between two points but if I zoom in and make a dimension point and then go to the next place and make the second dimension point, the dimension line appears but no box shows up showing the dimension and or giving me the option to change the dimension, which is what I need to put the template into the right dimension. This wasn't an issue for around 6 hours of using Fusion 360 but for 3 days now, I cannot get it to bring the dimension box back up when I have zoomed in whilst dimensioning. I have clean re installed Fusion, upgraded to the lattes Mac OS operating system and still the problem persists.
