Using sketch dimension as PMI dimension? 1

[snakemaster]

I’ve dimensioned a sketch profile that I then revolved. To add PMI do I have to dimension it again?

That depends on what version of NX that you're using.

Starting with NX 7.5, there's an option on the 'Sketch Tools' toolbar which will allow you to select any Driving Dimension and have them show as PMI objects once you leave the Sketch task.
