Dimensions added on creation of sketch geometry.

Chris Zeien Oct 20, 2009 9:31 AM

Well seeing that it is better late than never, we just updated to SWX2009 SP3.0. One thing that I cannot find an option to turn off, if it can, is a dimension is added to a line, circle, etc upon creation. Can that be turned off so that when you sketch a line, circle, etc no dimension is added until I dimension it myself?

Also when you box select sketch geometry, all sketch relation icons show up; very distracting. Can this be turned off?

For Sketch relations: Under View, make sure "Sketch Relations are not checked or selected."

Chris -

System Options -> Sketch -> uncheck "Enable on screen numeric input on entity creation"

When you have a circle or line invoked in a sketch, there is an option to toggle "Add Dimensions". This either turns it on or off completly for all sketch entities. It would be really nice if the system remembered each option per sketch entity.

  One thing you could do:
  
  Leave that toggle checked.....then, for entities you do NOT want automatically dimensioned.....hold down the ALT key while creating. That will temporarily diable the feature.....
  
  Just an idea......
