Missing sketch dimensions in Solidworks
I have recently upgraded to SW2017 and when start a new sketch I cannot add dimensions. the dimension lines are not there and I am unable to click to start a new dimension.
Even when opening old models, there are no sketch dimensions showing.
I do not have Instant 2D turned on, I have the latest graphics card drivers installed and have also reinstalled SW.
Any ideas?

There have been a few other people reporting the same thing recently.
I suggested tools - options - performance - enable the Use Software OpenGL option
Despite having the latest video drivers, the video card may not work well with SolidWorks. You can check the XS website for a list of compatible video cards as well.
Have you tried to use the measure tool in evaluate tab? This allows you to get the dimensions of whatever region you select.
@Trevor Sheen I believe you must have solved this.
But the solution is changing the font from Century Gothic to any other.
