As shown in the photo, you can only see the measurement of the rectangle, but how do I show all the measurements of the rest of the shapes in the same sketch?

Sometimes a group of sketches will continue to show all the dimensions even when not selected, which is annoying as it interferes with body creation etc. Other sketches don’t show all the dimensions. Don’t remember turning anything on, so what’s the deal with this? Is it just random?

I can’t seem to find that in the settings of the PC UI, do you know where the “always show dimensions” option might be?

At first select the sketch tool, and the gear icon should be under the history bar…

Oh thank you so much, I realised it was already on but the dimensions still didn’t all show, I tried switching the option on and then off, and still didn’t work. Are there any more solutions?

Because will show the locked dimensions…

Did anyone work out how to show ALL dimensions? I need to see all the angles of a sketch at once. Tried “locking” everything, but it only shows angles of a line I’ve selected, not all angles.

That doesn’t show all dimensions and angles though… As stated earlier in the thread, it only shows dimensions and angles of parts that are locked together.

As I understood will be ok if it shows locked dimensions and it will if you turn this toggle on.

Showing all dimension on the sketch, if they unlocked, is impossible.
