Toggle Display of Sketch Dimensions On/Off

Toggle Display of Sketch Dimensions On/Off

Toggle Display of Sketch Dimensions On/Off

(OP)
Other than displaying everything as PMI and hiding PMI Dimensions (which seems to slow down my model), is there an easy way to quickly toggle the display of sketch dimensions? I'm trying to design a mechanism by mapping it through sketches, and would like to see it without the dimensions, but still need access to them to alter dimensions as necessary. Also, once you've hidden a specific dimension, how do you go about showing it again?

P.S. I'm using NX 8.5

Thanks!

RE: Toggle Display of Sketch Dimensions On/Off

The old option(nx6) no more available.
(Display sketch dimensions outside sketch)
and you have the PMI Option only.

RE: Toggle Display of Sketch Dimensions On/Off

what's you show is the new option
in nx6 inside a sketch environment we was have
an option to check a toggle to show sketch dimensions
after exist the sketch environment.

See my previous post link where JB Responded to it.

Thank you

RE: Toggle Display of Sketch Dimensions On/Off

I do believe there was an issue during NX8.5 where you could not show dimensions or the PMI Sketch dimensions if you do the show hide command.

It is fixed in a certain NX8.5 update. I do not remember which one.

Have you thought about looking into layers? Would this even work? I do not know.
