show dimension names?

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by NOT REALLY ME, Dec 9, 2006.

  1. I know you can show the dimension names but I've forgotten how to to display
    them. I'm doing a lot configurations on parts and this would help extremely
    in the design table construction. I've searched the help and my SW for
    Dummies book to no avail.

    Thanks

    I made a free addin that does this. Extends this functionality to a
    toolbar and menu pick.

    Otherwise, it's buried somewhere in the document options.

    In the same vein as Tick I wrote a simple macro that toggles two
    things: dimensions names and enter dimension value on create. Seems
    like these two go together. When creating you want names and enter on
    create and when doing other things you want them off.
