Dimension Bug AC12 2675

After placing a Dimension if you click to add another point to the dim chain and perpendicular to it the dimension text changes to 0". It does not happen if you click on an endpoint or intersection to add the next dimension.

Good catch! Same on PC. It appears to be picking up the custom value, although measured value is selected. If you change it to custom value, then measured value again, it will appear as it should.

This is a bug that should get fixed, like, by tomorrow.

Adding another dim point and hitting undo also "fixes" it.

Or just undo, redo seems to work.

I get this from time to time as well....
I've also noticed this is only a problem with "simple" walls. If you dimension to composite walls, it works okay,.

I can confirm this bug, but I just tried and this is not specific to Hotfix-5 (2675). This could happen in earlier versions too, but as Eduardo pointed out, this does not happen if you click an end-point of the wall to add a new dimension point. Also, editing the dimension in any way fixes it. Closing and opening the file also fixes it.
