I recently have been doing dimensioning in DataCAD 11 and lately when running a dimension the arrow (we actually use dots) on the right side of the dimension line does not appear. Is there a setting I do not have set?

I have the same problem with a few drawings. For me, it only happens with site drawings that were created by our consultant with Acad and then converted to DataCad. These site drawings seem to have strange Z heights, sometimes -3000 and +3000. If I turn all layers on and change the Z's to 0,0 or something a little more logical, the second dimension tick mark seems to show up.

Maybe someone else will have a better solution or know why it happens.

The condition you describe is caused by having Increment set to 0 in Dim.
Style. This will occur whether you use Fixed Incr. or not.

Use the following sequence:

Dimensions-Linear-Dim.Style-Increment(F6)-Set to anything except 0.
Turn Fixed Incr. on or off to suit taste.
