Have you tried inserting the dimensions using "Insert --> Model items..."?

I've noticed this issue coming up more frequently lately. I haven't been able to replicate the problem, though (all works fine by me).

Could you provide some details about your environment, OS, hardware, graphics card, processor, etc.
 
Have you tried this?:
Go to Tools, Options, Document properties, detailing.
Under 'Auto Insert on view creation' select 'Dimensions marked for drawing.

If this works save it in your drawing template file.

Make sure your Dims in your part have "marked for drawing" checked. THen do a Insert\Model Items\Dimensions\Marked for drawing.

Otherwise Roller1 is correct for auto insert of Dims. but you still have to have the dims in your part "marked for drawing" checked.
