Lock all dims permanently or toggle?
Lock all dims permanently or toggle?
(OP)
Is there a way to Lock all sketch dimensions permanently in config.pro? Thus, disabling the ability to drag sketch entities with the mouse.
The reason I ask is that I have been having trouble accidentally dragging sketches when editing a model, especially with WildFire's new "Direct Modeling" where I am often double clicking items in the graphics area.
I am a former SolidWorks user, where there was an option to enable or disable "Override dim values on drag." This is the functionality I am looking for in ProE.
Thanks

I'm sure this is availible in Wildfire but it might be in a different location.

I want to be able to have the dimensions locked all the time.

I am new to ProE, coming from SWx. I share your desire.
The closest thing I have found is to add the following line to your config.pro......
sketcher_lock_modified_dims yes
Thus, whenever you input a value to a dimension, it will be automatically locked. Unfortunately, once you exit the sketch, when you re-enter all the dims will be unlocked.
Hope this helps.

Instead of trying to lock dimensions, set the features desired or all features to READ ONLY. In this way, you cannot change accidentally any dimension.
