I opened a dwg file (created by someone else in Autocad) using solid edge. Everything looks fine including the dimensions that came with the original dwg.
I can sketch new geometry in the dft file but if I try to insert a dimension all I get is the dimension line but no automatic units like it usually will if I start from scratch in a dft file.
Any tips? What might I be doing wrong?
e.g. see the screenshot below. The hatched area was not there in the original dwg file. I added it. When I try to dimension it I get dimension lines but no numbers.
