How get part dimensions on parts in a finished document?

I have a design and now want to make my device. I don't need to print on paper (but will if necessary), but I at least would like to access a view of each part, with dimensions, so that I can start machining (will cut manually, not CNC). I see a nice rendering of each part, but there are no dimensions, not even the ones I put in during design.
The design is at this public link if it helps:

I have all but one of the parts hidden in the current view to make it clear. I would like a dimensioned view of what's shown (the part called "base"). Is there a way to get dimensions on this view, or any other way for that matter?

You can RMB click on a face of a part to bring up the sketch dimensions. This may help but doesn't show everything you will still have to use the measuring tool to get the extrudes lengths, rad's, etc.
Tip: you can also add driven reference dimension on you sketches for more detail if required.

edit: Another way can be the "search" button. Maybe there is an answer you are searching for too
