Dimensions no Longer remain as Entered (equations turn into single values)

Hi all,

Been using Fusion for long while and just figured out how much I liked the fact that entered equations/ dimensions retained their entered value when editing a dimension (i.e. 2*5 is shown as 10 when not editing the dimension but when you edit it it shows 2*5; this also pertains to dimensions entered in different units) since I opened a downloaded file without the history active and found out that that functionality is only active with capture history enabled.  I like this feature since it reminds me where a value comes from if I forget (especially helpful when I am dimensioning according to a standard like I was when I found this out).

 

I can understand not allowing variables in this mode but equations like this seem like a trivial quality of life improvement. I checked the feedback forums for an appropriate thread to post to but none are open so I'll just drop this here in case anyone is confused why their equations are being turned into single values.

Just replying to my own post to mark as solved, TLDR make sure your design history is enabled
