Datum in dim - Bold text

Question

I'm noticing when I create a set datum axis and attach it to a dimension, the text of the datum shows up bold. To fix this I have to erase the drawing from memory and bring it back up.

Anyone else see this behavior?

I just got a notice from PTC that this issue will be fixed in m070.

Let me just point out that I opened this call with PTC on May 22nd, and I got notice today that it will be fixed in a release targeted for August 7th. I'd say that's pretty quick resolution!
I was unable to recreate this problem on demand, it was a random occurrence. I just let PTC know it was on datums of size attached to an axis.

So in case you ever wondered if it was worth the effort to open a call with PTC, the answer is YES!
In the past few months I've received notice of at least three different resolutions to calls I've submitted.

So let me encourage all of you to stop living with problems in the software and submit them as bugs.

On this issue when I asked one of my users, he said, "oh.. that happens a lot, all you do is save the drawing, erase from session and retrieve it again."
Others on the mail exploder said they had seen the issue also, and knew the work around. Yet, it seems no one had turned the issue into PTC.

We all pay lots of money each year for maintenance. I suggest you make PTC earn that money. It ends up being good for both you and PTC.

Customer reports set datum tag tag randomly appears bold and plots bold as well. Saving the drawing, closing, erasing session, and retrieving it again resolves the issue.
