Option to show which dimension points are static/associative

I think it would be really useful for a lot of people to have an option (it could be an On-Screen Only option that could be toggled) that would by color coding or some other means show for each Dimension Point of each Dimension Chain whether it is associative (dynamically linked to a node of an element) or static.
I know that currently you can click on any node of a Dimension Chain and if you hold down the mouse the element it is associated to will highlight.
But I would like an option that would let you see the whole thing and know which Dimension points you may need to redo.

This is especially useful when one has to move elements after having had to set dimensions to static for whatever reason and one would need to quickly find which elements need re-dimensioning.

12 years and still nothing has been done regarding this? Such shame...

You can set up a Graphic Override.

It won't show the actual static nodes, but you can highlight the entire dimension that contains any static nodes.

Excellent! Thanks Barry! 😄

I was too quick to judge, it took 5mins more of searching online before I encountered this myself. It's good to wrap up old topics like this anyway. 🙂
