Leader and dimensions not working

[micah_reed]

I was adding a leader and it is not working properly. I’ll do my best to explain. The ortho setting doesn’t matter, it will only go up and down, also the text shows up as a dashed line and none of the dimension commands will work. Has anyone had this happen before? I’m in AutoCAD LT2023.

Looks like your UCS is set to left or right (but then everything should only work up/down). Type 'UCS' followed by pressing enter and then type 'w' enter that should fix the problem. If not then post your dwg so we can take a look.

That fixed it!  Thanks!
