Dimensioning

After picking both extension line origins I cant get a dynamic dimension to show at the tool tip before I place it. There is only a red line that i can move around.

Can't think of anything that would cause this off the top of my head. Do dimensions work in other areas of this drawing and/or in other drawings?

 

It would help for us to see the problem using a Screencast.

No, it doesn't work in any dwgs. To clarify the dimension does appear after I select a location. Also when I create an angular dim. it works as it used to.

 

And just upgraded from 16 to 18.

This is probably not it, but is DRAGMODE set to "AUTO"?

What command are you using exactly? Copy/Paste from the command line to here please.
Do you have an add-on installed with your 2018?
And did you use the migration tool to move your content from 2016 to 2018?

yes we do have a Pdm package called adept. And I'm not sure if the migration tool was used.

Ah..... that is a command from AutoCAD Mechanical, not AutoCAD. This is why we need images and screencasts, etc. Perhaps someone in the AutoCAD Mechanical forum would know, or perhaps someone has already run across this issue and solved it?
