I may be wrong, it often happens, but I think you'll also need to group the dimension with the component or it won't stay with it if you move it.

With Dave's methode, placing the dimension outside the component's context but inside a gluing component, the dimension sticks onto the parent component. It will move along with that single component instance but there will not be any nested components involved.

Example, see attached model.

dimension component gluing to component

One note on Fredo Tools mentioned above: Be sure that the leader line format in the model info setting, Text>Leader Lines, the leader style must be set to Pushpin; if it is View Based you will get adverse results.

If you wish to move the labels, either anchors or text part, just do it with ReportLabelArea, not with the native SU Tool.
