Change distance between planes

[Anonymous]

Hi

I have created 3 workplanes with off set, but first after I have created sketches on them I could see that the distance between them was wrong. How is it possible to change it without delete it all?

Thanks in advance!

Click on your work plane, two icons will appear, the first one is called Edit Dimension, click on that and then you should be able to edit the distance between your work plane and the plane it was offset from. I hope that helps

Edit: I was too slow, so what thenicator said

(but also you can right click on the plane node in the browser and choose Edit Dimension as well)

me, me... pick me... I know this one.

How about..... double click on the plane 

This works in both graphical window and browser pane.

is this not the fastest ?? told you I know this one.

fort this to work in the graphical window you need to change your selection to feature priority (use SHIFT + Right-Click)

I don't see an edit dimension just a redefine feature which doesn't edit the dimension just the reference, anyone help?

How did you create the workplane?  If it was by any means other than offset from a plane/face, there is no dimension to edit directly-- you will need to change the defining geometry.  For example, if you define a plane through three points, then you would only be able to alter that plane's position by moving one or more of the defining points.

What version of Inventor?  Can you post an example file?
