Dimension tool not working

The dimension tool does not work. I have tried restarting Chrome but no luck.  I have followed the video tutorial to the "T" clicking only once and dragging but nothing.  Suggestions?

    It's very hard to figure out what's happening without a video or something, but assuming you're talking about within sketcher, the dimension tool works just fine.

    When you say it's not working, what exactly are you doing?

    After drawing a rectangle, I wanted to size it.  I click on one of the parallel lines and drag expecting the dimensional lines and size box.  I get nothing.

    Select the dimension tool. Then just click on the sketch line once, don't drag. Then move your mouse to position the dimension, then click again.
