26.3. -When adding configurations with different dimension sizes, especially when

we use a design table, it's a good idea to change the configured dimension's name

and use one that allows us to easily identify them. To rename a dimension, select

it in the screen and type a new name in its properties. When renaming dimensions,

just add the name and don't worry about the "@feature_name" part;

SOLIDWORKS adds this part automatically when we are finished. Turn on the

Dimension Names and rename the sketch dimensions as shown.

Another way to change a dimension's Modify

r-----------------~~--~
name is by double-clicking on a

dimension, and then type a new name

in the top field of the "Modify" dialog box.

26.4. -After completing the sketch add a revolved boss. Since the sketch

dimensions are automatically hidden after we make a feature, we need to make

them visible while editing the part before creating the Design Table. Right-mouse-

click in the "Annotations" folder in the FeatureManager, and activate the option

"Show Feature Dimensions" from the pop-up menu.
