The sketcher has the nice feature to just measure dimensions by setting them in reference mode. But whenever I want to use the feature I loose the reference mode:
- take e.g. the attached simple sketch. There are several reference-mode dimensions in it
- double click on a reference-mode dimension and then do nothing, just press cancel
result: the dimension is no longer in reference mode but a normal mandatory dimension (turns from blue to red)
- now double click on a reference-mode dimension and then highlight in the appearing dialog the number and copy it to the clipboard
- finally press cancel (so that you did not actually change the dimension)
result: the dimension is also no longer in reference mode
The problem is that in real life documents the suddenly new real dimensions make sketches over-constrained. Moreover the change from reference-mode for the dimensions cannot simply be undone. Therefore it is really hard to work with the reference mode.
I am not sure it is a bug or I miss just a setting. Astonishingly I cannot find anything related to this issue in the forum so any hint is highly appreciated.
