Dimensioning

How do I add dimensions to 3d views of models that are imported or opened from other file formats and have no sketches?

Dimensions are a sketching tool.

You can reverse engineer to get sketches to get dimensions, but they won't update the imported bodies anyway,

so you only have Modelling tools left,

Move, Scale, Offset, etc.

Thanks, they really should put a ruler in the toolbag. Anyway, found a kind of weird workaround. Not calipers by any means but measurements show up if you do a section analysis. Gave me some info to start with at least.

Don't need to be limited by a ruler, when we have the Inspect > Measure Tool.

Not much you can't find out with it.

Section Analysis is one hand behind your back, as well...

Might help....

Inspect/measure doesn't do what I'm asking to do.
