Matching Sketcher (sd#) dimensions to Part-level (d#) dimensions.

Matching Sketcher (sd#) dimensions to Part-level (d#) dimensions.

Matching Sketcher (sd#) dimensions to Part-level (d#) dimensions.

(OP)
Does anyone know of a quick way to match up a sketch's internal (sd#) dimensions to the external (d#) dimensions used at the part level?  It seems that the only method is to manually go into Sketcher, match the values of the dimensions to the internal IDs, write them all down, then get out of sketcher and get the feature info to find out which (d#) matches up with what (sd#), by comparing values.

Many thanks!

LOL!  Yep indeed.

...Especially when you have 2500 points!

mmm possible enhansement request, change the display of sd dims to the d dim symbol after the sketch is first accepted. When you redefine a sketch, any existing dimensions would be d instead of sd, new would be sd unless they replace a d.

I like that idea.  But also that ProE not do the re-designations in random order.  It's nice to know that whenever I am dimensioning a sketch, that (for the most part at least) I can expect consecutive sd#'s for the coordinates of a given point being dimensioned.  That way, when I pop back into Part mode, it makes it easier when writing Part relations, when you can be pretty sure that, for instance d121 is the horizontal coord of a point, and d122 is the vertical coord, instead of something like d20 for H, and d361 for V.
