AC wants me to place the dimension rather than see it and place it myself when in paper space

Hi

So until yesterday I was able to click dimension and then go on to click 2 points, I would then see the dimension dynamically move around with my mouse movements until I clicked on the place of my choosing. Now I don't see the dimension visible until I've chosen a point (or typed one  also I guess).

What is the command or setting that I can use to switch it back so that I see my dimension dynamically moving around before I place it?

I'm fairly new to AutoCAD and as an expert in solidworks, I'm finding the transition at times extremely frustrating, with everything seemingly so much less intuitive, but I know in time ill get there...

Hi,

 

thank you for your screenshot of command _ABOUT ... and sorry, yes, it shows that you are missing updates.

Please install them first and try dimension again.

 

This is the version, which is current today:
