Dimension tools are limited to a sketch or drawing.

The parameters are listed under Change Parameters.

Might help....

Hi @davidetmorgan

As mentioned, you can create a sketch or a drawing.

But If you want to see the dimensions that have already been applied to the model, you can turn on the visibility of the sketches that have been used to create the geometry (provided these exist, they will not be present on a STEP file for example).

Turn on the sketch visibility, the choose "Show Dimensions"

When you're done, you can simply toggle the visibility back off.
