Possible to view sketch dimensions once a part has been made into a version?

Brian_McVeighBrian_McVeigh Member Posts: 78 PRO
I'm working on a new version of a part, and wanted to go back and look at what dimensions I used in a sketch for a previous version but this doesn't seem possible, or am I missing something?  I understand that the older version cannot be edited, but is it not possible to go into sketch view anymore?

    I ran into this yesterday. After a bit of head-scratching I found that copying the sketch from the older version and pasting it somewhere (in my case a new part studio) let me get at most of the information I needed (variables driving part of the sketch didn't transfer). I'm sure there is a better way but this might let you get at the data you need.

    Another option is to branch from the version. 
    At that point, you will have a new 'work space' that you can do anything you want to.
    Once you have finished, just delete that workspace.
    Very easy, very clean.

    @philip_thomas Like I said "I'm sure there's a better way" Of course there is! Thank you.
