It's the first time I've seen that!!
We learn more every day.
I have the impression, from the comments, that it's specific to your config or your pc. To see if any options have not been checked by mistake.

Do you have the option to put one of these parts here, so that an SW14 user can see if it has the same effect with another setting?
Dimensions not attached to a plane?
(I can't test it at the moment, I'm not on my station).
- I don't know if we can know a posteriori what the dimensions are attached to but it's the creation that determines it: for example, for a line either we click on each end and we put the dimension, or we click on the line and we put the dimension.
- For the extremities, I have never been careful.
I just did a test on SW2012, the square points appear when I select an element of the sketch (line, arc, ...), I don't have any points that appear when I select a dimension (regardless of how it was created).
If you can post an example file, it will allow you to do a few tries

Hello
If you move your sketch and the dimensions have not moved: save as is and close SW, then reopen your plan, have the dimensions recovered correctly?
If not, no other idea.
Sorry.
Hello
To see if it's not coming from your workstation settings, you can try resetting them like this:
1. Close SolidWorks
2. Go to Regedit (start, run Regedit) and then rename the folder (with _old at the end for example):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Solidworks\SolidWorks .... depending on the version
3. Re-open the room, do you have the same problem?
4. To restore the settings, go back to the Regedit delete the new folder created and renamed the old one by removing _old at the end

Yes, here's the part, tell me if it's specific to my config or not, a colleague told me "it's normal, SW has a lot of graphical bugs, it can't keep up, don't worry... "But hey, it bothers me, I get a little lost when everything shifts...
PS: here is a screen that shows which odds are offset (the 7000 odds should not be in this place and the 4000 odds are slightly offset).

And when your colleague opens it up to his workstation, does it react in the same way?
Have you recently recharged your SW poarameters in your company?
Well actually, my colleague is "new", he knows SW well but didn't know where the problem came from...
The problem is that I'm the only cartoonist, he's in charge of the project and as a result, he doesn't have SW on his job... We may be considering buying another license but for the moment, we only have one active position.
Hmm, there are certainly graphical bugs in SW but much more on the surface side, complicated parts, etc.
For functions as elementary as sides on a sketch, I'm skeptical...
What's really amazing is the fact that no one else is experiencing this problem.
Lucas posted a reset method, it still doesn't work?

Sorry for the slowness of my answers, I'm working at the same time:(
I just tested the @Lucas reset method (thanks by the way, I didn't know this method ;)), the dimensions remain offset, nothing to do, With this method, Solidworks has reset all its parameters to zero but nothing changes...
On your workstations, there is the same bug??

No, no bugs.
Have you tried a forced reconstruction?
(Certainly yes but sometimes people forget and that solves a lot of problems;)

I just opened your room under sw14 sp2.0
And indeed the odds are offset.
When trying to attach the 4000 rating to the ends, it starts next to the 7000 rating.
On the other hand, when shooting her, and receiving the sketch, she doesn't walk around anymore...

@opiep, yes, when shooting the dimension, it doesn't wander around anymore but by dint of modifying and remodifying and remodifying (thanks to the client ;p) my piece, there is always a hill that "jumps" after a while... And since it does that to me on all the pieces I create... It's a bit heavy^^
@jose, yes, I tried the reconstruction, it doesn't work:( (Are you talking about Ctrl+Q?)
Like OPIP27, the odds are offset.
Other things I notice:
- the odds of 700 appear with round "handles", the odds of 1700 with squares
- If I make the dimensions appear by double-clicking on the sketch, the dimensions behave normally.
Question: Are these dimensions attached to a ref plane?
1 Like
No, I very rarely hang my ribs on ref plans, in general, I constrain my starting point to my origin and that's it...
Does where your odds are, does it correspond to a plan?
It looks a bit like this:

Well, some yes and some not...
In the example of a coin that I posted, the 7000 dimension is indeed on a plane (front plane) but the 4000 dimension and the others that are slightly offset, absolutely not... It's hard to understand...
Did you re-dimension sketch A? Because no rating is wandering.
On sketch B, when we take an "unattached/offset" (well those that have a square) to reattach them, they change plane (e.g. the one to the right of the dimension ee 7000 goes from straight to front view).
If you get an answer from the hotline, please let us know.

Hello
@opiep, no, I didn't redimension sketch A, on this piece, only sketch B has dimension problems.
For the hotline, I'll keep you posted but I don't think I'll call her today, I've been quite overloaded lately:(
In any case, thank you for your answers and your involvement;)
