how to hide dims within a sketch?

If I'm understanding you properly, just go to the part, RMB on Annotations, and uncheck "show feature dimensions." Close?

Another rule in SW is keep the sketches simple. Makes things easier to chase for errors, ...

Hi..

If you are working on a part model sketch I'm not sure if individual dimensions can be hidden as you need to.

In case of a SWX drawing this becomes easy..In your sketch....window or ctrl select the dimensions... RMB and click Hide...copy/move the holes you need to. When you want to see the dimensions back..go to View...Hide/Show Annotations....and select each dimension you want to show. OR you may create a layer ...move all the dims to that layer..and make it On/Off.

You can also copy/paste a fully dimensioned sketch from drawing document to the part model sketch.

Hope one of these solve your problem..

What is RMB?

Annotations,

Thanks for your reply!

couple of questions:

What's SWX?

What's RMB?

Sorry for the dumb questions

Marty

SWX is Solid Works and RMB is right mouse button....also check Your settings ín tools/options/document properties/annotations display....tick the option "always display text at the same size"....if You don't use this optione it's almost impossible to zoom in among a lot of dimensions

Solidworks right mouse button

Answer: shorthand SWX (also SW) = SolidWorks RMB = Right Mouse Button

A few others common in this group: PWX = PhotoWorks TB = ToolBox SE = SolidEdge ProE = ProEngineer FM = Feature Manager

Right Mouse Button

Hmmmmm this is an interesting concept. Do the layout on the drawing side, then paste it into a feature sketch.

This could give more control over a complex sketch because one could control layers, color, etc.

Thanks,

Marty
