I'm having a problem with dimensions disappearing when I try to exit the command

I'm having a problem with dimensioning.  When exiting the linear, angle or radial dimension command, the dimension disappears.  Dimension element works fine.  Location is set to Automatic.  Dimensions are turned on in View Attributes.  I used the repair function in the Windows Settings panel with no change.  I am using Microstation v8i and my operating system is Windows 10.  I have been a Microstation user for more than 25 years and can usually solve problems I run into, but this one has me baffled.  I saw two other similar questions posted, but the solutions suggested in them did not work for me.  Any help is appreciated.

  • I finally figured how to do a reset with the touchpad and touchscreen without having a mouse connected to my computer.  After doing the three clicks: the first to locate the start of the dimension, the second to locate the end of the dimension and the third to locate the dimension text, then I touch and hold my finger to the touchscreen and that is equivalent to a right click with a mouse to reset.  I also plugged in a mouse and the dimension command worked fine with the right click to reset.

    To all who replied, thanks for your help.
