Question

Modify in sketcher

Sorry to raise another question but are there ways to

 

 1) Automatically select all dimensions in sketcher, (e.g. prior to rescaling with modify+lock), with out having to zoom out and drag around the whole sketch?

 

 2) There is a nice feature within Modify that if you start editing a dimension in the modify window the corresponding dimension is highlighted in the sketch. Is it possible to arrange the reverse dynamically, e.g. selecting a dimension on the sketch highlights the dimension in the modify window. At present on, our systems, it goes part way. If the dimension is not in the selection pane it is scrolled so the dimension appears, but it could be the top or bottom of the scroll window and not highlighted. [Reducing the pane to one dimension makes it clearer but a annoyance] To highlight the dimension modify window has to be reselected either by selecting the top bar or clicking and then dragging the cursor over the edit fields

 

 3) Related to (2)  is there a way of selecting the coded dimensions (e.g. sd0, sd1) from the Modify window, useful when working with relations etc, without switching dims in the sketcher and selecting on the sketch and re activating the modify dims or switching dims in the sketcher

 

Many Thanks

Try these:

1) use ALT+CTRL+A (sketcher->select all); then activate the modify tool

2) it sounds like you are looking for the dimension selected in the graphics area to be "highlighted" in the "Modify dimensions" window - presumably, it is so that you know which "wheel" to turn.  That's a good idea for UI improvement that should be subitted to PTC because it seems right now you have to specifically activate the "Modify dimensions" window by clicking on its title bar for this highlighting to happen.

3) you can insert the name of the dimension (sd0..) directly into the relations text-input area by clicking on the dimension in the graphics area...
