Dimensions - global parameters

[arkitek2ss]

OK.  I found that I can label dimensions thinking that I can have "temp" dimensions and "working" dimensions by using and turn off the temp dimensions but after applying, my plan went all screwy.

after a little research, is there a way to create a sub-category for dimensions similar to ref planes?

You can create Dimension TYPES and filter them.

If you are using Temporary dimension to lock the distance then there is a way to hide them and reveal while editing...

" Temporary Dimension " 

1. Dimension.

2. lock

3. Delete the dimension ( click OK for pop up

4. That constraint can be visible by using " Reveal Constraints "

Dimensionlock the dimensiondelete the dimensiondefault viewView with Reveal Constraints. Edit in this mode

By the way, if you really Need a dimension, non printable, then you can try creating a new 

dimension style ( type ) and give a almost white colour .. so its visible while editing but wont print..

( disadvantage is , it might get exported in CAD if you are using that )
