Hi,

The new login is weird... anyway on to my question.

How do you move a leader line within a SKETCH? When I search for this I find many answers pertaining to drawings, but I want to move a dimension in a sketch.

See below for an example. I have a dimension that is later referenced by a pattern, hence I can't delete it. But I would like the leader line to snap to the origin rather than the center of the circle. Is it possible to simply redefine a dimension without deleting and recreating it?

Now I realize I can simply delete the pattern, then delete the dimension and add another, then recreate the pattern, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way to accomplish this.

I tried dragging the reference point, and it seems to act like it wants to move, but it won't actually move. Maybe there's some key combo I need to use or something?

Thanks
