Persitent dimensions

I have "Persitent Dimensions" turned on, clicked on under the "Constraint" dropdown but it doesn't automatically dimension my sketch elements. I've tried it both ways with lines, rectangles, etc. Inventor Pro 2012.

Hi Dswilson22

 

If you go to application Options / Sketch / Heads-up Display in the settings you will find the Option "Create Dimensions when inputting dimension value".

 

If you activate it , dimensions will be available when you will place an element. You will have to type in a value to make the dimension persistent

Merci Pierre,

I do have that option turned on.

What I didn't realize was that "You will have to type in a value to make the dimension persistent"

I learning!

Thanks again.

Doug
