Hi,

I made a simple project for building a prototype. When testing it I needed to modify some measurements, so I modified the sketch accordingly. But the bodies didn’t follow the modified sketch. So I had to delete them, loosing the drawing and all dimensions.

Is there a better way?

Thanks,

Serge

There will be when the parametric feature is launched. Direct modeling doesn’t really have any history other than undo/redo and some constraints in sketches. Bodies are unconnected.

The parametric feature (currently in beta) has the functionality you are asking for.
