I had to make some measurements of parts that are covered by other parts. I turned on a clipping plane and made my first dimension, but all I could see were the lines, no text and no arrows. I’ve recreated the problem with two simple parts as you can see in this image:
I tried all the display methods, but the dimension is always unusable. So then i turned off the clipping plane and voilà, my dimension is nice and readable!

Wow, turns out my Rhino is unable to communicate with its update service. I’ve got the McNeelUpdate service running, but Rhino displays the error message “The McNeel Update Service is unavailable” and “Check now” is greyed out. Even after making the update from your link.
And unfortunately after installing the newest version the behaviour is still the same - as long as the clipping plane is on, the dimension text&arrows are invisible.
Ok, so as long as I stay on my virtual machine, this glitch is going to be there and everything should work fine when the file is opened on a proper Windows machine?
