Setting the positioning of a chain quote

Hello

I use chain dimensioning to display certain dimensions on my plans. I adjust the positioning of the sideline and save the document.

When I go back to the drawing, the chain dimensions have moved outside of the side section.

How can I fix their positioning?

Thank you

I unchecked the box, restored my dimensions to position, left the drawing (while leaving it open) and by returning the dimensions were again at the bottom and out of their place for the smaller ones.

"left the drawing (while leaving it open)" ????
What exactly did you do?
Are there any configurations?

I expressed myself badly, I went back to my assembly file without closing the drawing file.

Configurations? I have parts with function configuration, yes.

My solution at this stage: not to use chain quotation

What can happen with configurations is that you change the configuration of an element in the assembly with the mep open, SW will update the view and therefore the placement of the dimensions and even if you go back to the initial configuration, it will not put the dimensions back where you had placed them.
