Smart Dimensioning Not Displayed in SOLIDWORKS 2016

3D Design Volume Model

Hello everyone,

 

I have the student version of SolidWorks 2016 and when I try to dimension a line, the dimension tool does not show up (the window yes but not the dimension symbols).

 

I am sending you an attachment to illustrate the problem.

Kind regards

 

Stone.

Hello

Can you post your piece or the problem arises? Is the problem on any screw parts???

You have to go to tools==>options==>sketch and then check enable numeric input on the screen when creating entities and then it should work.

Hello

I checked the box but my problem is not solved.

I attached a sketch that I tried to dimension but that I don't see displayed...

The file is in SolidWorks 2018 but I can also do it in 2016 if necessary.

 

Kind regards

Stone

Hello

Hello

 

Here is the sketch in 2016

I put  a square with only one rib in it.

 

Kind regards

Hello

For me and on your piece, everything is displayed as it should be on SW2017:

Is the "Show sketch dimensions" option checked?

Kind regards

Hello

Yes, I do have the option enabled, but I don't have this problem alone. SolidWorks won't let me quote another decree afterwards.

I think my PC is just not compatible with SolidWorks at all.

Here is my configuration:

Vostro 3578 Laptop:

i5 8250U

8GB RAM

AMD radeon 520 2GB

256GB SSD

WIndows 10 Pro 64Bits

 

I'm closing the subject because I'm in a bit of a hurry now and I've switched to Fusion 360. (which works perfectly)

 

Thank you for your answers.

Kind regards

Stone.
