"Doublemint" dimensions, anyone?

Hi cognocenti,
A funny thing happened today as I dimensioned a drawing (DataCad ver 14).
The dimension numbers are all printing double! If I explode the dimension, each one can be deleted separately, so one is not a 'ghost' of the other.
Anyone know what's going on here, and how to fix it?

Go into the Dim Style menu and toggle off Limits.

Hi David,
That's it! Thanks.
Apart from not knowing how it got toggled on, I'm now wondering what the point of "limits" is, because it only seems to repeat the dimension.
Do you use it for anything?

PS - Funny, it turned back on somehow. I had to toggle it off again...

Me use it? You're assuming I know how DataCAD works. That's a good one!
Limits are similar to tolerances. In practical use, you would set an Upper and Lower limit. Both tolerances and limits are used mostly in mechanical engineering.
