Checking dimensions for external references within a sketch
Checking dimensions for external references within a sketch
(OP)
Hi, I know how to check for sketch relations which relate to something outside of the sketch they are in, but I can't find a way to check for dimensions that have been measured against something that is outside the sketch.
The reason I want to do this is so that I can re-order my sketches.
I haven't been able to find a way so I've had to delete all the dimensions, re-order the sketches and re-dimension it. Obviously not the most productive way of doing it...
Thanks for your help

Edit the sketch and then click on "Display/Delete Relations". In the relations property manager box, at the top chose "external". This will list all the relations and dimensions that are measured to something external to the sketch.

I went through all the external relations and none of them would have stopped me from re-ordering the sketches that I wanted to, but when I tried to do that it wouldn't work. Once I deleted all the dimensions then it worked...
