Where dimensions are displayed (by Brian)
Totally love this software. But wheen you place dimensions causes so much pain. I have a geometry that is basically a 19th century wheel. 16 pegs coming to a common central point. I created the wheel, but when I create the diameter for the wheel the diameter appears at the center. I have been working for about 10 minutes to select the dimension to move and edit it. So far I have failed to succeed. Any chance you could help.

I actually found a work around. I created a layer called Bull Shit Style. Then I hid that layer and could select the dimension. But seriously this is how I solved the issue and I still love the software.

You may try using the exploded view. I think its the backlash \ key. It will separate all the sketch elements perpendicular to the plane. Rotate the view and you should be able to pick the constraint easier. The explode distance is on the configuration screen. Press the same key to unexplode the view.
