Hi,

How do I drag dimensions while in edit mode like this:

I attached a gif of me trying to drag sketch dimensions.

it doesn't matter if dimensions are weak, strong or locked.

I'm currently using Creo 8.

thanks

Maybe a bug, more likely a setting.

Try temporarily removing all config files. I typically just rename them with an X in front, but you can do it however.

Then restart Creo and retest. This will give you and "out of the box" test with no options set.

You can find all your config.pro files under file options configurations editor.

You can drag within the sketch or the dimensions can't be locked (i think your green dimensions are locked (rmb unlock on the dimension)

They are dragging a dim of a sketch of the feature shown being flexed viewed in 3D. You can activate the sketch (modify dims) via the model tree to access the drag handles and dimensions while in a 3D view. Activate the sketch to show the dims and you can then LMB to select the sketch elements and drag.

@StephenW has noted that if the dims are locked in the sketch, then you would not be able to drag them. It looks like he has identified the issue you are having.

This may seem obvious, but I must ask. Do you have your selection filter set to dimensions when you are trying to select a dim for dragging?

Getting the drag handle for a dimension is a bit difficult in edit mode. You have to hover the mouse into an annoyingly small space over the arrow to get it show. Dragging the lines, arcs, points, etc. is much easier.
