Simple solidworks question.

Simple solidworks question.

Simple solidworks question.

(OP)
I have a dimensioning question.  When in a drawing file using the smart dimension command I can dimension an edge fine but then the command turns itself off and I have to re-click the smart dimension button in order to dimension my next edge.  It has not always been this way for me, in the past the command would stay active until I turned it off when I was done using it.  I'm not sure how this funciton has become "turned off" but is there some way I can get this back ?

RE: Simple solidworks question.

Click on Tools/Options and under the system options tab. general settings check to see if single command per pick is checked. If so uncheck it.
