Locking geometry in place (model in place)

[ILoveMadoka]

In a situation such as this...

 

 

 

Can I lock these values so that they cannot be changed?

When placing a sketch on another object, I'm not sure how to move/adjust everything so that it is both where and the size I want.
if I change one value, the other changes too...

Noob.

Am not sure if those are temporary dimensions. They automatically appear when selecting an object, and since they are temporary, they cannot be lock AFAIK. 

 

If you want to lock the object, better align it to a reference plane, add a dimension and lock the dimension. 

 

another option is create a simple family. 

Hope it helps.

Years ago think 40+ there was place a house on a lot inside a Civil package and it did what your asking for, as object moved the distances changed, and then you could accept. if you only want 2 offset dims something can be done if you imply say the left offset and bottom offset, then move object to match those offsets. I dont have code but it may be out there, try using google but with serach words like lot house offset, hopefully something will turn up. Not sure if in CIV3D.
