Show Sketch Dimensions

Show or hide the annotations for driving and reference dimensions while preserving their solver and measurement behavior.

Purpose#

Show or hide the annotations for driving and reference dimensions while preserving their solver and measurement behavior.

Where to find it#

In a sketch containing dimensions, use the ruler button in the lower-left footer.

Selection#

• The active sketch must contain at least one dimension before the ruler visibility control is shown.

Steps#

1. Create a driving or Reference dimension with Dimension.
2. Tap the ruler to hide annotations when they obstruct the drawing.
3. Tap the ruler again to show current dimension values.

Options#

Show / Hide Sketch Dimensions

#

Controls annotation visibility without removing dimensions or changing whether they are Driving or Reference.

Driving measurement

#

Controls geometry through the solver even while its annotation is hidden.

Reference measurement

#

Reports the current measured value without driving geometry and continues updating while hidden.

Result#

Dimension labels are shown or hidden; geometry, constraints, and measured values remain intact.

Editing#

Show annotations and select a dimension to change its value, Driving/Reference state, orientation, or resize anchor.
