Automatically toggle lock dimensions

Automatically toggle lock dimensions

Automatically toggle lock dimensions

(OP)
Does anyone know how to automatically toggle lock dimensions?

Is there a config option that can be set for this?

I'm using 2001 and it's a real pain selecting dimensions indivudially to toggle lock.

Thanks

RE: Automatically toggle lock dimensions

This will lock any dimension you modify during a sketcher session:

Utilities > Sketcher Preferences > Display

Tick "Lock Modified Dimensions"

I don't know if there's a way to lock all the dimensions with one pick...

RE: Automatically toggle lock dimensions

I'm not sure this is what you want but here goes. Use the arrow select tool and drag a rectangle around all of your dims. Now select edit>toggle lock. You will get all of the selected ones at once.

RE: Automatically toggle lock dimensions

There is no way to set this in config file.
What prohow is mentioned is the right way, but this will lock only the modified dimensions.
You can suggest this to PTC
