I'll start this with a question: What would be so terrible about being able to hide sketch dimensions?? I can tell you quite easily what would be great - being able to see your geometry! Clearly, that is. Having recently upgraded to 2010 from 2006, I was hoping to see an option for that, but alas, no. You can hide drawing dimensions, so someone must have thought it would be nice to see an uncluttered view, if only temporarily. If having the sketch dimensions hidden invites errors, why not have them `ghosted', instead - not completely invisible, but also not obliterating all line work. You could have them barely visible, but select one and it could jump out to full visibility while the cursor hovers over it. This would all just be a temporary setting under View, with it all able to go back to the normal rat's nest of black dimensions when necessary.
Would anyone like to weigh in with whether they think this would be a good idea, or a stupid one? I think it would save zooming time, not having to zoom way in to a busy little sketch area so as not to just see a mass of black insects seemingly munching on sketch elements.

Dimensions are basically just `relations' or `mates' (in SW parlance - or constraints, in IV ), i.e., necessary controls over geometry.
