Trying to Blank Or Lock Sketch Dimensions
Trying to Blank Or Lock Sketch Dimensions
(OP)
I would like to either blank or lock dimensions in a sketch.
I can blank a dimension in a sketch, but when I close the sketch and open it again, the dimension unblanks.
I have seen that in some areas like die design you seem to be able to lock dimensions. Is there a way to lock the dimensions of a sketch?
Thank you for your help

It didn't work for me so I'll say what I did to make sure I've done everything correctly.
While in my sketch I went to preferences -> sketch and then checked the "retain dimensions box"
I then finished the sketch. While in modeling mode I went to Edit -> blank -> blank and then selected "class selection" I clicked on "type" and then I selected dimension as the type. I then selected the dimensions that I wanted to be blanked and blanked them.
The funny thing is that the dimensions I blanked stay blanked when I'm in modeling, but then unblank whenever I open the sketch.
I'm running NX 4.0.2.2
