Sketch Dimensions

It would be of great benefit I think, if when you toggled a sketch to be visible in the canvas from the browser the sketch dimensions were visible as well. Also make them editable, takes an extra click out of the production flow.

 

That way, if you want to alter a dimension, you can just opt to view the sketch and change the value right then and there, really only needing to go into the sketch for additional feature editing.

Fusion 360 already offers this option.  Take a look at the Screencast.

How about a default to show dimensions for all sketches so that you don't need to right click multiple sketches?

On simple designs, your idea will probably work but on large designs, and all sketches light up, I think users would be overwhelmed.  If I have a lot of overlapping sketch dimensions I am sure sooner or later, I would select and change the wrong one.  Also, I try to place my sketch dimensions in logical areas.  I am sure you have seem users that throw sketch dimensions just anywhere.

No, not all on at once, only the sketches you make visible. Only as you
turn the light bulb on and off. Inventor does this and there is no issue
