Locking Non-Sketcher Dimensions

I'm quite familiar with locking of sketcher dimensions to prevent unintentional changes to the numbers during sketching. However, I'd also like to be able to lock 'feature' dimensions such as extrude depth, offset dimensions for holes, etc. Is this possible?

Thank you.

Easy, I do it fairly often. Just write a relation at whatever level you want (sketcher, feature, top, etc.) saying something like: d1 = 1.250. Make sure you use comments in your relations!

Hi Aero...

You might also want to look into making features Read Only. There are some important restrictions on read only features but they might help in addition to Frank's suggestion. The help files have great information on this. If you need additional guidance, just give a shout.

Thanks!
