Hi,
Created a multistory building using the BIM toolbox.
Then used the TechDraw toolbox to create technical 2D drawings and added measurements and text to these drawings.
Finally yesterday saved the whole project and quit FreeCad.
When opening the project today and loading the drawings with the TechDraw toolbox all the created schematics are a mess of measurements and views. Measurements lines and/or the values changed place. I had a normal view and a section view placed on top of each other, now they are placed randomly in the drawing.
It looks like I can start from zero.
Somebody having the same experience or have some hints?
My system and FreeCad install:

Re: Dimensions and views end up in a mess
All you need to do is correctly arrange the views again but this time when in the correct location and the view selected use the Lock Position to True to get the red padlock appear:
