Working from two different directions, it seems like dellus and I come to the same conclusion - the dimensioning layers are messed up.  More specifically it seems the dimensioning that should be on "Standalone.dimensions" is split between two layers.  Ditto with and "Carport2.deminsions".

   - If "Standalone.dimensions" and "sideview" are the only two layers on I can see the dimensioning in its complete form (lines, text, arrows) for what I would assume should all be on "Standalone.dimensions".  
   - If "sideview" is turned off, the dimension lines disappear.  The extension lines, arrows and text remain.  
   - If "sideview" is left on and "Standalone.dimensions" is turned off, everything disappears (dimension lines, extension lines, text, arrows).

I tried consolidating the two layers on to a new layer, but then the dimension lines just disappeared (text, arrows and extension line remained).  In the end I deleted the two layers, "sideview" and "Standalone.dimensions", and was able to save the drawing (But I've said that before too - so no guarantees.)

With only "Standalone.dimensions" and  "Carport2.deminsions" layers on, I get the text missing from the screenshot dellus provided:


The "Carport1.dimension" layer doesn't seem to have any entities.

Weirdness in layers....
