Dimensions in sketch disappear

Using Fusion 360, Trying to dimension a sketch, after adding the dimension it disappears.

The dimension lines and arrows show up but no numbers.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a graphics issue.

Could you please show a screenshot of the entire Fusion application frame with some of these dimensions included?

When I dimension the rectangle the value will not show up the same with circle. When I come out of the dimension tool they will show up, if I double click on them to change the value nothing happens and I can not change the size.

Try toggling Show Dimensions off and then back on.

Do they reappear?

What graphics card/driver are you running?

When I toggle dimensions on and off they do appear but will not edit still. Graphics card see image.

Go to AMD's driver site and see if there's an updated driver for your video card please.

Graphics Card on the computer screen is up to date.

I have multiple monitors one being a TV so that I can demonstrate the software to my students.

What I discovered this morning is that the actual measurement window that shows up when you go to edit a dimension is actually across the room on the TV screen.

Now I have to figure out how to keep it on one screen.

Resetting the layout might help.

Go to File > View > Reset to default layout

Does that help?
