Change Dimensions of a Sketch

[Anonymous]

My experience of Fusion 360 so far is pretty frustrating. I'm not really finding anything very intuitive.

At the moment all I want to do is the most basic thing, which is to change the dimensions of a sketch. It's a simple rectangle that I extruded. 

If a software is well designed, this should be really easy and very intuitive. But it's not. 

Can anyone help me?

What happens if you Edit the Sketch?

Or

Turn on the Visibility of the Sketch Dimensions?

Rule #1

errr

Fusion Rule #2 - Right Mouse Button everything.

In Timeline mode, you can directly edit sketch dimensions and user parameters in the Modify|Change Parameters dialog.  It appears that you are working in Direct Modeling mode, so that option isn't available.

I found out how to do this at last. Edit your sketch, then click the Sketch drop down menu and click Sketch Dimension, then click on the dimension line you want to edit, move the mouse to show the dimension and click again to fix it to the sketch. You can now change the dimension to what you want. Dimension measurements will stay there if you come out and go back in the sketch but you can click and delete them if you don't want them in the future.

You can change how the dimension is changed by right clicking on the little dots on the sketch and selecting Pin/Unpin and then the scaling will be relative to that point.

Under the new UI this option is located somewhere else but the Sketch Dimension option is still there.

Anyone that's done the basic tutorials and how tos should know how to edit a sketch. That said the sketch in the first post looks like it has 3 projected points in it so one or two of those would need to be deleted before it can be edited. But again it's in the help.

That's cool and all but.

Hi,

Try moving the cursor in the timeline (several times) between the end and the beginning and/or jumping back and forth between the elements in the browser.
The editing mode should then be available again.

Personal or Paid version?

Edit. Deleted what I thought to start with.

Think this might be you have a sketch created before history was enabled so it's in a base feature like this. Still not quite the same dialog though. Can you show  the timeline and\or share the design.
