WF 5.0, Build M010 We seem to have another phenomenon that several of us have experienced, vanishing dimensions. We can work on a drawing to completion, including created dimensions (not shown), file and save. Later if we load the drawing, either for a revision or any other purpose some dimensions may have dropped off. It doesn't happen every time, and not every dimension. Right now we have our checker doing a 100% visual overlay check of every drawing we do now to ensure we don't drop dimensions between revisions. Each person who has experienced it wrote it off to a unique situation, or being a large model. To keep it interetsing, if we close the model and Pro/E and relaunch, some of the dimensions may come back. Anyone else seeing anything like this? Right now we're trying to isolate exactly what steps lead to this situation, if there may be some pattern. Bruce

We've seen an occasional glitch (WF4) where suddenly all the gtols stop being displayed. This, and similar issues, are usually cured by closing the session of Pro/E and re-launching - to use a quote from an urban legend: "you have to get out of the car, and then get back in"!
