Can't access 'dimension properties' on shown dimensions (Creo2)

Do you guys have any idea why I can't access "Dimension properties" of shown model dimensions in drawing? It works with dims created in drawing but not with shown dimensions. Double-click does nothing and when I right-click there is not even "Properites" option in that menu

I had it set to cosmetic_only, and that was the problem.

Thank you guys, you helped me a lot!

Are you in the Annotate tab?

Could it be that the model is locked (either file system or windchill)? That could explain being able to modify created but not shown dimensions.

Stephen, if you mean this (see picture), then no it's not locked.

Graham, yes, I am in the Anotate tab.

Is that the lock on the drawing or the lock on the model (.prt or .asm) file?

Can you modify the properties of the dimension in question in the model (not through the drawing)?

it's on the model.

Yes, I can modify it on the model.

Check your config.pro for the "draw_models_read_only" option. If this option is set to yes then you are not able to modify model dimensions from the drawing.

Well that's an interesting option. It would come in handy if you wanted to make sure someone unqualified wouldn't/couldn't change anything.
