i see what you're talking about but this doesn't affect the operation in sketch mode.-

Derrick,
can you take a screenshot of what it looks like when you modify a line that is already dimensioned?
The only plausable way I could see that working is if it is a driven dimension, either in the sketch, or in an annotation view. A screenshot might help clear that up.

i just figured it out. go to:
tools
options
system options tab
sketch
there is an option for "oeverride dimension on drag/move". i just unchecked it an everything is working fine now.
charles,
thanks for the consideration

constrained dimensions
If you want to be able to drag your sketch and have the dimensions update, is there a down side to having "override dimension on drag/move" checked? Does this do anything other than allow you to drag to change the size of fully constrained sketches?-
constrained dimensions
The down side is purely sketch technique, and something that I would never do (although that's an opinion). I often have sketches that have plenty of sketch lines, and when you move a point or a line, other lines/points will move to accomodate. I constrain lines so that they WONT move, and I can adjust the others as required. If they moved too then I would be altering values that I already set, and that would ruin the point of why I constrained them to begin with. So that's my theory, anyway; I suppose someone else could have a work flow that works another way.

Is there no way to tell it what values to lock? I did not find a toggle while I was looking around, but did find that it was nice to drag my sketch around and not have to delete dimensions and put them back. I would just like to pick what adjusted and what didn't.

No, I'm afraid it is all or nothing. If I want to move a sketch that is constrained, I will just alter the dimension.
