I have a very simple Belt Sketch , so a closed curve, two lines tangent to two arcs.
I applied a Perimeter constraint (I was trying with a Perimeter dimension too), say total length to be 700.
Where the heck is that constraint or dimension !?
I can not see the perimeter dimension, I can not Show that constraint (I can see the constraint in expressions)
 
Not sure what you mean by 'Perimeter Constraint' as there is only a 'Perimeter Dimension', which is why there is no 'constraint' symbol. But it is true that the 'Perimeter Dimension' is only manifested as an expression, which I'll admit is not all that convenient when looking at a model that perhaps you did not constrain since it you fail to carefully review all the expressions, this detail might be missed.

When I've used this it shows up in the edit sketch parameters list.
 
Ionelz: Can you write an Enhancement Request on this and send to GTAC ?
