The text is controlled by the font you use and any guide curves. For a guide curve you can select a another line/curve you have created.

Fully Define Sketch doesn't work with 3D sketches. Try to lock down points with relations or dimensions. Sometimes it helps to add dimensions and relations before you add raddii or more complex geometry. Using construction lines can also help keep dimensions and regular lines where you want them. If you're using splines, construction lines definitely help, especially when you're lining tubes up with fittings. Hi Andrew. Fully Define Sketch doesn’t work with 3D sketches.

I am having problems closing out a 3D sketch and can't locate the problem to get a fully defined sketch. Any help will be apreciated. Does the fully defined sketch option work when in a 3D sketch?

If you want to see some more tips from others we have a contest running till June 15 at this link. http://www.solidsmack.com/best-solidworks-dimensioning-tips-contest/2007-07-10/ Drew, Hi. probably the best book out there is the SolidWorks 2007 Bible by Matt Lombard.
