Drafting - dimensions explode to mess when moving.

[tomstickland]

A colleague has a problem with a drafting view.
When he drags a dimension then all other dimensions in the view explode into a mess of lines that occupy a space several times bigger than the drawing view. It looks like they explode into being 5 times larger than the view(drawing scale 5:1) with odd tangent lines and bits of text showing.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Has your drawing more than one sheet? I have the problem with quite large drawing (both in size and in quantity of sheets) and sometimes in one sheet appeared dimensions from another sheet (see attached picture). I did not find any solution for this, only just reopening helped me.

I opened the drawing on my machine and it worked fine. We suspect something to do with memory size on that machine.
