thanks! bob z.



yep, right-click on the dimension to get the min and max. bob z couldn't think of the terms 'min' and 'max' because, well, because they just aren't there as options! bob z. will try to hold the shift key while creating the dimension right now.

the holding of the shift key during creation works. :~)>

min/max option for dia dimension is only available if bob selects circle geometry and not center point.

Just another thought here. If you attempt to create a diameter dimension in a sketch but fail to select a centerline, then two options will be missing or unavailable under Dimension Properties:

If this is the case, you must edit the sketch and drag/drop the extension line from geometry to contruction/centerline. Eddie
