Highlighting Sketch Dimensions

[siliconlad]

Given a SketchDimension object (or even a Sketch object), is it possible to highlight the dimension in the UI? Ideally without entering sketch mode. If not, is there a way to manually draw them on the screen?

You can use the Sketch.areDimensionsShown property to turn on the display of all the dimensions in a sketch. Then, you can use the API to select a sketch to "highlight" it. That's the only way I'm aware of. The API doesn't provide access to the geometry of the dimension, so you don't have the information needed to redraw it with custom graphics.
