This is great, because during “freehand sketching” you don’t want dimensions for every line. When this option is selected, the sketch entity will only be dimensioned if you enter a value and press Enter or Tab.
Create dimension only when value is entered.The downside could be that a dimension is added to everything you sketch. This is a very helpful option, because you don’t need to exit a sketch entity tool to dimension it with Smart Dimension. With this option enabled, numeric input fields will display during the creation of sketch entities. Enable on screen numeric input on entity creation.So, with SOLIDWORKS opened, go to Tools – Options and select the following two options for Sketch:Ī bit of clarification of these two options: The first method is only available if the right options are activated in the SOLIDWORKS Options menu. Smart Dimension with lightning speed – Method 1: In this tech blog I want to clarify two methods, which are quite unknown to most of the SOLIDWORKS users I meet. But there are even faster ways to add Smart Dimensions to your sketch. So experienced users often use a shortcut key or mouse gestures to start it. But this needs quite some mouse travel to select it. Beginners often start the command by selecting it at the Sketch toolbar of the CommandManager. One thing SOLIDWORKS users use every day is the Smart Dimension tool during sketching.
