Revit 2009: I attempted to add text before, after, & under various dimensions on a long string. They kept disappearing on me. I would add text to the last dimension in the string and find the first text no longer visible. When I tried to edit the witness lines and add additional dimensions, all of the text, previously entered, disappeared. Am I doing something wrong or is it just Revit being wierd again?

Is you annontation crop on? That will make tet disappear. But is does usually give you a warning.

Revit is being inconsiderate. If you edit the witness lines you will lose the text. I think it's because it recalculates the dimensions. Why it loses the text......???? lol

in 2009, if you override the text, then change the dimension (like adding a witness line, or removing one) revit will ALWAY remove your overrides. Sometimes, I find it easier to break that string up into multiples if the override is very very important, this way there is no accidents.

"I just checked mine out in 2010 and don't have that happening." I'll have to check that out. I find it amazing that the factory would fix a problem and not market it.
