I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150

I am facing some problem regarding dimensions witness lines in Creo drawing. Every time I regenerate, or check-in check-out part, dimension witness line gets disturbed (elongated in/out of view). Problem seen specifically for Parametric dimensions which are converted to ordinate dimension.

Usually, purple dimensions mean a created dimension has lost its attachment point. when they lose their attachment, they don't act right. In this case, maybe this is caused by the drawing being saved after modification and not the model (there are other reasons)

Sometimes you can edit attachment and re-attach, sometimes you have to recreate the ordinate dimensions.

If I was fixing this, I would try the edit references on the dimension and if that didn't work, I would recreate one or 2 of the dimensions and save, clear memory and reopen to see if it fixed it (all to check if it works before doing a lot of work only to find there was a different problem.

Thank you for your response.

All my dimensions are parametric and didn't lose its attachment. The witness line regains its original position if I move view a little and get disturbed back even if I switch between sheets or check-in check-out on windchill.
