Display Dimension Names

(OP)
Since a reinstall, dimension names in parts and drawings are no longer displayed (just the numerical dimension shows up without name such as "cylind_radius"). I presume there's an option to display them somewhere but haven't yet found it.

RE: Display Dimension Names

With a Assembly, Part, or Drawing file open, goto:
1) \Tools\Options
2) System Options Tab
3) Select "General" in the Window on the Left side of the Dialog Box
4) In the Right-hand side CHECK "Show Dimension Names"
5) Hit OK

That's it,
Ken
