I really need this dimension driven modelling, I think better implementation of this can be like this: on the lower panel that has osnap and ortho modes, we can have temporary dimensions/dimension driven button, so whenever we click to enable that, whenever we select any object that is supported it will show those dimension lines that we can edit.
ok, never mind, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was trying to dimension part of a closed curve rectangle which I turned into a constraint sketch without exploding it first so that all the sides were separate objects. Thank you by the way for your videos. I have no idea how I would have figured this constraint stuff out without them
Hi, yes you'll need to create a sketch first. I can see how that is confusing though. The driving option is also only available if the dimensioned object or points are capable of being driven. Certain curves, such as NURBS curves, cannot be driven.

Coming from mechanical engineering CAD like AutoCAD etc this would be a very good feature. Together with assemblies Rhino would be quite powerful
it was very useful. Thanks.
Joshua - How stable are these features at the moment?
Just tried this but there is no driving option in the command line for me, only Horizontal and Vertical
