Hide/Show Dimension in Assembly Sketch

[jdg268]

This question was somewhat addressed years ago in thread 559-27831, but I don't think anyone knew the answer. I am now trying to make an assembly sketch dimension reappear. Anyone know the answer? Is there an option to "show" these dimensions after they've been hidden?

Oddly enough, selecting "show feature dimensions" makes the dimensions of a sketch appear--regardless of whether it's part of a feature or not. selecting show feature dimensions won't show dimensions that were hidden though.

When a sketch is not part of a feature, double clicking on the sketch won't show any dimensions that are hidden. It shows everything else.

D-clicking the sketch in 05 works. Tried it on 06 at home
and it doesn't work. Behaves as you just stated...dunno at
this point...looks like a reverse future enhancement. Use
ref dims and control their visibility if needed...

jdg268 ... Thanks for the screenshot. It made me to look deeper to find out why my system was not giving me that option. I just discovered that the Hide option only appears when Show Feature Dimensions is selected ... and I've never have need for that.
