Hello, Would there be an option to display directly on the drawing the dimensions whose value has been modified? By highlighting them, for example.
I know that Solidedge integrates this possibility, but does solidworks do the same?
Thank you
Hello
Yes it is possible, see here:
To enable highlighting of changed dimensions:
- Click Options
(Standard Toolbar) or Tools > Options.
- On the System Options tab , click Colors.
- Select Use Specified Color for Drawing Dimensions Changed on Open.
- Click OK.

Thank you for your quick feedback, I didn't use the right terms, I would like to highlight dimensions whose primary value has been modified in the drawing in order to know which dimensions were "hacked". This is done using the primary value of the dimension properties see attached photo

Ok with us when we force the odds we are used to putting * in front. Example *247.
May the force be with you

Hello
I don't know if that's what you want to do:
To add relationships between the 3D model and the plan: Annotation > Model Object > Validate
To edit a dimension manually: Left Click on the Dimension > Edit Dimension Value
To manually set dimensions to the same format as the objects in the drawing: Right click on the Dimension > Modify Layer > Format
If you want to differentiate the modified dimensions from those of the object, nothing prevents you from leaving them grayed out as in your photo, and adding the others via "Model Object".
Hoping I was able to help you
Kind regards

Thank you all for your feedback, so I think it's not possible to do what I want. OBI WAN's answer is the one I personally use, but I wanted a solution in case of a plan rework to avoid having to scan all the sides to know if they have been modified or not.
Enjoy WE
This will be possible with a macro!
It is also possible to create a layer for forced dimensions. In this way it is possible to disable all the layers and to leave active only the layer of the foced dimensions so on the plane only the forced dimensions remain .
may the force be with you.

But you have to manually put each of the sides in the layer, right?
Hello,
@.pl yes and no, I explain there are 2 solutions.solution 1 either as you say you put by hand the forced dimensions in the layer or solution 2 you activate the layer before laying the cutters this way the dimensions will automatically go on this layer.
may the force be with you.
