Drawings - Can't dimension to undercut

I am trying to put a dimension on an under cut around a threaded shaft shoulder and the dimension is registering as unassociated not matter where I position it.

 

I tried to do this with a leader as well but am unable to plate the leader on the actual radius - if I do that it just disappears.  I've tried closing and reopening Fusion and no change.

This is a pretty basic machining operation so I'm not sure why I am having such difficulty with the tools at hand?

Can you attach your model you are creating the drawing from.  The forum users need it to be sure and replicate your issue and hopefully find a solution accurately.

I created my own model and created a drawing.  As you can see I have placed about every type of dimension you could possibly want.  Again, please attach your model so the forum users can see what problem you are facing.

If an Autodesk employee wants access they can PM me.

The model isn't the problem anyway.

 

I can create a new drawing from the same model and not have any of the same problems.

I can dimension the undercut on the upper portion of the same elevation view, or the plan view and not have problems.

 

But for some inexplicable reason I can't place the dimension where I want in this one particular drawing.

It's baffling.

Actually the model is where a lot of drawing issue start that is why I requested the model.  Also the drawing is a lot harder to share so I just wanted the model which is easy.

Thanks for the model.  I opened it, saved it and did a drawing.  I can see no issue placing the radius or a note callout on the relief cut.   Just for kicks, if you have not tried it already, create a new drawing just to test to see if these same issues exist.

Yep I already tried that - it worked without problems.

 

Seems like its another Gremlin in F360 Drawings that causes lost productivity and workflow but isn't consistent; and only happens to those who spend a lot of time working in that particular environment.

 

Like unresponsive behavior when editing BOMS or Tolerances:
