Better sketch dimension selection

Better sketch dimension selection

Hi,

as you an see in the screencast, sometimes is very difficult to change dimensions in model because there is Body in the way. But when I'm in Sketch edit, it should prefer the sketch, not the bodies around. 

 

Right now, I have to find the specific body and hide it, edit the dimension and then make the body visible again.

This should be improved.

 

Thx and have a nice day!

Matt

This is definitely something I have struggled with.  frequently, I end up creating a section plane on the sketch plane so the sketch will be "in front"  of the bodies so I can select sketch elements first.

 

you need to be able to select both bodies elements(edges faces etc)   and the sketch, but the selection priority should go to the open sketch.

Huh, I have no problem with this, is Select Trough active?  sometime I also turn on slice in the sketch palette.

Thanks TMC!   those suggestions work great.

 

I didn't have the select through turned on, and I also wasn't utilizing the slice feature.

 

I think my NOOB may have been showing 🙂
