Dimension Dialog Box

Dimension Dialog Box

Dimension Dialog Box

(OP)
When I am generating a sketch and I need to create a dimension I use the smart dimension and place it on the sketch.  However after I place the dimension I have to double click on the dimension to get the dimension input dialog box to pop up (very irritating and labour intensive).  How can I get that input box to pop up automatically after I place the dimension?
