Using ST3 SP6 on Windows 7 64-bit.
I keep getting problems re-attaching dimensions after drawing view updates. Individual dimensions will attach OK but others that are part of a string or stack seem to go all over the place, and sometimes disappear completely.
When they disappear the view dynamics (element drag) seems to get switched off. Elements move but you can't see it on screen until you let go of the drag.
The only way to get it back is to close SE completely.
When the file is reloaded I do a forced update of the views (CTRL+SHIFT+ Update View) and any dimensions that disappeared will reappear at the bottom left (origin) of the drawing - they can then be deleted.
This is not confined to one drawing, one user or one worksation - it's a general problem.

Does anyone else suffer from this because it's driving me nuts.
