Problem when inserting model items in drawings.

I seem to have a problem when inserting model items into my drawings.
Some of the dimensions will display correctly while others appear to
be fixed to some none-existent points in thin air. These dangling
dimensions won't snap to the model properly, and i often cannot shift
them to other wiews.
Have anyone other than me encountered this problem?
I am running Solidworks 2004 SP2.

ooh.

I think you've encountered the "features defined as offset from surface
dimension to the middle of fucking nowhere" bug/regression.

glad to see this isn't fixed in SP2.0.

The fucknuts at SW reintroduced this bug in SP1.0.

And they apparently still haven't fixed it.

apparently something as trivial as lack of PDF printing is worthy of pulling
an entire SP, but this bug is way low on the priority list.

Crummy bastards.

If it is a revolve, make sure that your section line goes through the same
plane as the sketch used to create the revolve (select the sketch in the
drawing's Feature Manager to confirm where it is.

which leads me to two things...

1) Their priorities are WAY out of whack

2) They're lying their asses off about why the SP was pulled.

Either way, they're a bunch of fucknuts.

Apparently, opening the sketch in the part again, and closing it made
the dimensions in the drawing snap into place...Strange...

And SP2 is still not up...makes you wonder what they're doing over there.

see SPR #141219, issued in April of 2002--fixing the problem is apparently
not much of a priority for SW.
The workaround you discovered further down in this thread is the official
answer. You sometimes have to actually move the dimension in the sketch for
it to snap to the proper place.
