Dimensioning sketch entities?

[SWDADA]

when creating a sketch, PRO/E seems to add dimesions automatically, adding weak dimensions where it wants. I know I can make them strong to fully define the sketch but I want to change the dimension references. I don't know how to accomplish this. In solidworks you can put dimensions on any entities you want within the sketch, referencing any parts of the sketch, but pro/e seems to give me no control over thsi!

Hi,


In ProE, you either add dimensions where you want, and the weak ones will go away, or, if you like a weak one, and want to make it strong, right-click and click strong. You should not leave any weak dimensions in the sketch.

There is a dimension icon on the sketcher tools palete. To create a dimensionselect your referencesand MMB to place the dimension.

Sorry, middle mouse button. So for instance if you want to dimension a line select the line and press the middle mouse button to create a dimension.
