Hey, I just started my first tutorial on SolidWorks. I got as far as sketching the circle. The tutorial says to smart dimension it, so I do... but it doesn't work right. There appears a giant diameter symbol, no numbers whatsoever, and I cannot drag it around as it says I'm supposed to be able to do.
What is going on here?
Thanks, but his solution did not work for me. People kept asking in the thread, so- I'm running on a Radeon 6850 video card.
Anyway, now that I have changed Options > Display/Selection > "Display dimensions flat to screen" is checked ... and nothing happens at all. No diameter symbol or anything now. Nothing.
Did you just recently upgrade? How long has this been happening?
What version and SP are you running?
EDIT
Nevermind. I have reinstalled the program (a process that is ridiculously difficult- I am NOT impressed with SW regarding this, thank the gods I know my way around computers rather well). Now it works just fine. I think I had some kind of corrupted install or something.
Tada...
PS
Thanks for your help regardless, it is appreciated.
You're welcome. I am glad you at least got it resolved.
