Get a list of all the parametric dimensions and variables in a SOLIDWORKS Part

With users migration to SOLIDWORKS from so many other CAD systems, one of the…(Ahem..) “deficiencies” we hear about is the lack of a singular location to see a list of all of your SOLIDWORKS parametric dimensions and variables within a part. Sometimes a list like this will help folks organize their thoughts regarding the parametric ordering of features and equations.

We do have a solution in the last few releases of SOLIDWORKS, located within the Tools > Equations dialog box.

The Dimension View button within the equation editing dialog will do exactly this, give us an entire list of every variable contained within our part file.
