Hi,
    SketchDimension in the following C++ Sample Program: Programming Interface Sample Programs Modeling Sketches Create sketch lines in various ways,

I copied the whole program in the sample.

Please help.

I think we misunderstood where you were seeing the problem.  The default behavior is that sketch dimensions are only displayed when the sketch is being edited.  You can override this by using the "Show Dimension" switch for the sketch. In the API you can control this switch by using the Sketch.areDimensionsShown property and set it to True.
