True, but I have also wished for a stretch since I started working with solid modelers.
Actually the old TriSpectives came close, as does the base solid modeling tools in
Inventor.
I think the stretch Joseph and I are thinking of is of the solid model, not sketches. Run
a crossing window over the solid and input a distance, and it takes care of all the
underlying dimensions. If a dimension lies inside of the crossing window then it doesn't
change, but if it crosses the window then its value is increased the proper amount. I
suppose doing it at sketch level could even really speed things up, but I have always
envisioned it in the solid.
