I would like to be able to copy the numerical value from a driven dimension. I understand, of course, why the values are not editable, but by making them so, I cannot copy the numerical value from such a dimension by right click/copy. Is there a way to do this short of writing the value down and manually entering it in the desired location? Anyone reading this who is involved in beta, may make it a wish list item.
I don't know of an easy way to copy it offhand, but you can link other dimensions, custom properties, etc. to a driven dimension. That way if the driven dimension changes the dimension or property that's linked to it will update. Will that work for what you need?
Thanks. I actually use them to link to other dimensions. An example is drawing screw threads, where pitch is the user defined dimension and height of hypothetical isosceles triangle is the driven. I link to the driven to get the heights of the crest and root. The work around I currently use is to use the measure tool, and cut and paste from there. Most recently this was to extract values into Excel to calculate scaling factors.
