Dimension line rescaling in sketches

Dimension line rescaling in sketches

When I dimensioning a sketch on a large model, Inventor places very large dimension lines. When I zoom in on this dimension, it looks like on the picture (dimension 10mm).

As far as I know, if you want to correct the look of this dimension, you have to delete it and put it again.

My idea is to add an option of automatically rescale these dimension lines.

The dimension should be scaled while zooming.

Great suggestion, thanks for posting this. This has needed to be fixed for a while.

 

Another idea related to dimensions misbehaving: More control over sketch dimensions. The first part of the idea asks for dimensions to stay where we put them. The second part asks to be able to drag dimension endpoints to re-associate them (which has a dedicated idea you can vote for here: Possibility to change dimension attachment in sketch).

I cross posted this idea into this combined idea: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/sketch-dimension-improvements-redefine-dimension-arran...

 

I assume the developers would prefer to tackle all this at the same time.
