    I have a plate with holes, slots, etc. In wf3 I showed the dims and out of
    about 50 dims 8 were purple - just the number. The arrows and witness lines
    were the usual yellow. I would assume this is a wf3 trait. I've been on Proe
    for 6 yrs and never saw dims like that.

    Those dims you're refering to are completly purple, witness lines and all.
    They are driven dims that lost there reference. By default they stay with
    the component model. The dims I see only the actual number is purple and in
    each case thay are a driving dim.

    This is occurring only in the first feature which is sheetmetal first wall.

    I don't have a clue really, but thought I'd goat head and ask ...
    Have you, by any chance, changed the number of decimals displayed or anything
    else? I've noticed a few times shown model dim text changing color to green, I
    think, after reducing the number of displayed decimal places. Since yours are
    the same color as a dim that's lost it's references I sorta wonder if it's not
    telling you the model needs to be regen'd? (Dunno, just guessing. I keep
    meanin' to look for some sort of reference that'll tell me what color changes
    are supposed to mean ...) Any messages generated if you update the view?
