Synchronous Modeling linear dimension 2

[icconian]

When you apply a linear dimension using Synchronous Modeling, should it appear on the screen after you hit OK? Mine show up in the Part Navigator, but not on the screen view of the part itself. I can click on the listing and get to edit, but can't normally see what the linear dim is applied to. Using NX 9.0 (and can't get to Help either!)

If you are working in history mode, then no, the dimension will not display in the modeling view. You can edit the dimension value by double clicking on the feature in the part navigator (or right click -> edit).

If you are working in history free mode, then yes, the dimension will show up on screen. You can edit the dimension value by double clicking on the dimension.

A-ha, thanks! Yes, I'm working in History mode.
