Re: how do you specify a specific length in a sketch?
Old post but lol, agreed. Drawing a line is easy enough. Clicking on the line doesn't let me change the length, though, but I can add a dimension, click the dimension, change the dimension label and all it does is turn the line red to say the dimension doesn't match the line length. No kidding, but why can't I just click… -

Then there are constraints which will automatically change the length, relative to something you're constrained to. If it turns red, than means you over defined your sketch.… -

Re: how do you specify a specific length in a sketch?
I'm sorry you feel that way. If I being honest, sketching is the same here as it is in every other real parametric CAD software I have used. What would you like to see that is more intuitive than defining a length with a dimension? I have seen some like solidworks that will give you the option to automatically add a…
