I saw this new option while doing a sketch "Add Dimensions". I tried it out.. its cool it adds a dimension, until you find out its driven and you cannot change it. So I searched the help without finding a solution to make it not a driven dim. So while in the sketch circle command I clicked the question mark, yet there is still no information on this option, sigh...
Does anyone have a solution to not make the automatic dimension not be read-only?
Also can someone at Solidworks please update the help again so all the new additions are in the help... especially when you click on the question mark while in a command?

Hi Scott,
It seems like the option “Sketch Dimension Driven” is enabled which is causing the resultant dimensions to be created as driven. You can turn it off by enabling any sketch tool command i.e Line, circle etc. and do a right click in graphics area where you will see this icon to turn it off.
For more details you can check SOLIDWORKS help at:
