Dimension Names and Drawings
(OP)
I need to show Dimension names when I create design tables but when I create a drawing i have to turn them off to print it.
Is there an easier way?

That said, I assume you are wanting a one-click solution. You can map this macro to a button. It will toggle display of dimension names. Enjoy!
CODE
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swDoc As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swDoc = swApp.ActiveDoc
swApp.SetUserPreferenceToggle swShowDimensionNames, _
Not CBool(swApp.GetUserPreferenceToggle(swShowDimensionNames) + 0)
swDoc.EditRebuild3
End Sub
