Dimension Text That Will Not Go Away 1

[heritagesurf7]

Almost done this mini project so I should be good for a while. I've put all of my parts together, and am about to capture a video of an animation, but there is a dimension that will not go away. I cannot click it, and therefore cannot delete it. I have tried entering all of the features and sketches that the dimension is based on, but as soon as I edit either the sketch or the feature, it goes away. As soon as I return to my full assembly, they return, and are still un-clickable. Thanks

Update: I just deleted all of the components that could have anything to do with the dimension, and they still stayed there, even when they weren't pointing to anything. I guess that means the dimension isn't defined based on the components, but then what are they defined by?

Try turning off your annotations. View->All annotations.
It could be a graphic problem, too. Have you tried restarting SolidWorks?

restarting didn't work. I have since found out that it is a dangling dimension (the olive color), but I can't find what it was defined by, so I cannot re-connect it or delete it. However, your view-> all annotations worked. I was looking in the options instead of the view tab. Thanks so much.

Whether the dimension was dangling or not, you should have been able to delete it. Unless it was some kind of ghost image.

If that is the case, this may be a graphics card driver issue.

Case solved/closed, but I thought that I might mention that when patterns are made on a sketch level, the number of times shape got patterned appears as annotation. Can't really erase/remove it, as long as the annotations are available for viewing.
