I am wondering where the details are...
When I click on any feature in the part navigator, like "extrude", "hole", the details tab shows the parameters(start limit, end limit, diameter).
But, if I click on a sketch, nothing is shown in the details tab. This used to be the case in earlier versions (correct me if I am wrong, case closed), where I was able to change a parameter.
Is there a setting in NX (customer defaults or the like) where this can be adressed ?

Currently using NX 1953.
Thanks in advance !

Since you are using NX 1953, I assume that you are using the new sketcher. With the old sketcher, an expression would be created to drive every dimension defined in the sketch (not the continuous auto dimensions). These expressions are what you would see in the details tab when the sketch was selected. With the new sketcher, the default behavior is to NOT create an expression unless specified. If you edit a sketch, right click on an existing dimension, and use "add/remove expression" you will see the expression value in the details tab like in older versions.
