The layer does not have an image.

All layers made invisible except the dimensions layer.
Saw two items that were on the layer by mistake (two words and 3 lines from the notes layer, and which were coloured differently than the dimensions)
Deleted those items (rather than assigning them different layer attributes).

After deleting those items, the issue remained.

Then I deleted the angle measure that always gets picked and the problem disappeared.

Tried to add the angle dimension again and it would not set. The two lines could be chosen and the angle and arc would appear and expect me to pick the arc location and after doing that the angle dimension would disappear.
Closed and reopened program, tried again and no luck.

Okay that was dumb of me.
I had an invisible layer marked so the angle dimension went on the invisible layer.
Fixed that, so the angle dimension appeared on the dimension layer.

That created the same corrupt behaviour as before. The angle dimension would be the only item that can be picked. It is as if it creates a drawing image instead of vector entities.

Thank you.
