Point animation. Where is the dimension??

Point animation. Where is the dimension??

Point animation. Where is the dimension??

(OP)
Hi all

I'm trying to animate a point moving along a spline path. I have the point mated to the line and set to a percentage constraint. I have all my display settings turned on but I can't make the percentage value display so that I can edit it? All of my other sketch dimensions display when I click on parts

Is there some weird display setting I'm missing.

Thanks

Sorry for being unclear.

When you insert a reference point you can set the location as a percentage along the line you place it on. Then you can set an equation up so that the percentage value increments each time you rebuild the assembly.
