Hi,

 

  • open part
  • double-click part geometry ... dimesions related to selected piece of geometry appear
  • select dimension, press RMB and use Properties command from context menu

Do not open Relations dialog box !!!

Is the .prt file locked (as in PDMLink/Windchill)? (most common problem I have seen)

When you right click, are you getting any right click menu or just no "properties" option? New users sometimes don't realize you have to click and hold right mouse button longer than other programs. Not sure if that applies to you.

I don't know if the file is locked but when I hold right mouse button, the only options I am getting are 

-Pick from list

-Lock

-Value

-Move 

-Move Text

-Exit Edit Dimension

Hello Martin,

 

I am using Creo 9.0 and have this exact same problem as HumzaS. I want to change the name of a dimension, but I cannot access dimension properties. I tried following the solution you outlined. In the part file, double click on geometry, then select the dimension and RMB, but I do not see Properties in the menu that pops up. This is what I see:

Is there something I am missing here?

Look at the tab up top. The dimension properties has changed over the years.

You can edit the name of the dimension in the ribbon.
