0:23 The problem is after draw first point of line, the second point I press S key call out the short cut to choose quick snap, the dimension box showing [S] instead of the short cut window. Any ideal?
there will be some keyboard shortcut keys that you wont be able to use when you have auto-dimensions enabled. Another one is the A- key, which is commonly used to switch between LINE and TANGENT ARC - but this doesn't work when you have auto-dimensions enabled. Instead you have to use the Right Mouse Button.
@@TooTallToby I noticed that it is checked off however it’s grayed out so it wont let me check the box while in sketch mode is there another way to enable it?
there are some RUclipsrs that I really don't know how on earth they are not famous 🤔 and you are definitely one of them !!!
Wow thanks Omar - very kind words! We'll get there someday!
I just realized that I didn't publish PART 2 of this video - It's up now :-)
Was using this trick since I saw it in your video, now upgraded to 2024. Had to see how to enable it again.
Awesome glad we have it - and glad I recently renamed the video to make it a little easier to find too!! Good timing!
Toby, you've got me. I have a great professor teaching me solidworks. Your videos really enhance my studies. Thanks so much.

My auto dimension is not driving so when I have a closed profile like the rectangle example it’s not fully defined any idea how to fix this?
maybe look at the property manager for the sketch entity and see if the check box for ADD DIMENSIONS has been disabled?
