Showing sketch dimensions in the model

The selected dimensions in the sketch can be made visible in the 3d model. The figure shows the sketch dimensions in the 3d modeling in the NX.

First of all, you can make this operation only sketches that opened/created by the “Sketch in Task Environment” method. If you create a sketch by the normal “Sketch” method, change the sketch type by clicking on the “Open in Sketch Task Environment” command to change the sketch type.

2. The command will be placed on the constraints group.
3. Click on the “Display Dimensions as PMI” command to activate.
