Modify Dimension

You can change a dimension in a part, sketch, assembly, or drawing in the Modify dialog box.

To change a dimension:

  1. Double-click a dimension.

    The Modify dialog box appears.

  2. Change the dimension value with the arrows, thumbwheel, or by typing in the dimension box.

    You can use the dimension box as a calculator by entering values and arithmetic symbols directly.

  3. Choose from:

    • Add Equation (If a dimension is driven by an equation, appears in the Modify dialog box.)

    • Link Value (If a dimension is linked to another dimension, appears in the Modify dialog box.)

If a dimension is both driven by an equation and linked to another dimension, appears in the Modify dialog box.

  1. Use the buttons as follows:

Save the current value and exit the dialog.

Restore the original value and exit the dialog.

Regenerate the model with the current value.

Reverse the sense of the dimension.

Reset spin increment value.

Mark dimension to be imported into a drawing. Available only in part and assembly documents. When you Insert Model Items into a drawing, you can insert all dimensions or only those marked.
