hello, I'm having an annoying issue with the parameter on the fly feature that doesn't seem to be saving the names I give my dimensions. it happens when I am in the sketch environment and go to add any sketch. in that sketch before I click to place it, instead of adding numbers for the dimensions I like to input new parameters such as "length=50" or something. but when I press enter the new parameter isn't created. it just saved as d1=50....
however if I use the actual dimension tool and input the same "length=50" this time the new parameter is saved. or if I use any tool outside the sketch environment it works. so for instance if I use the extrude feature and input "height=100" it saves the new "height" parameter....
does anyone no why this is happening or how I can get the parameter on the fly feature to work with the sketch tools?
thank you!

Its either still not working or not working again, and this is the only thread I can find about that.
This issue has been fixed as indicated in Message #3 of this post. The video will show this. You must remember, using this method the parameter name does not show in the original sketch where it was created but will appear in the parameter table and can be used in any further parameter calls.
