Reduce clicks

Single click on parts to show all dimensions (sketch-dimensions, protrusion, instances etc) in order to make changes
Both in part studio and assemblies
Just like in Solid Works

    @claus_jeppesen817, two things. 
    1. This sounds more like an annoyance than an improvement. The vast majority of times that I (or most people) click on a part, I don't wan't to see it's dimensions.
    2. It doesn't work like that in SolidWorks. You have to double-click.
    I wouldn't mind replicating the actual SW behavior though - double-clicking a part in an assembly shows and allows editing of its dimensions.

    I would really love to double-click on a part in an assembly to bring up the underlying sketch and feature data and change existing dimensions on sketches and features parameters from the assembly without having to open the part studio.

    1. YMMW
    2. In Solid Works you can use single click to see dimensions in a part or assembly

    Me to, but with single click

    What I would like is double-clicking on a part in an assembly doing the same thing as double-clicking it in the feature tree.
    It would open the part studio in-context.
