In some circumstances,
dimensions are automatically disassociated, including
If the associated geometric object is erased
If the associated geometric object undergoes a Boolean operation such as
UNION or SUBTRACT
If grip editing is used to stretch a dimension parallel to its dimension
line
If the association to a geometric object is specified using the Apparent
Intersection object snap, and the geometric object is moved so that the apparent
intersection no longer exists

Agreed! That's why I mentioned the 'Automatic Disassociation' properties.
