This question is long overdue... Is there are a way to remove all of the dimensions and constraints in a sketch with one click of a button rather than manually deleting each dimension? I was always sure there was a way but never learned, never found it and never asked, until now. Thanks in advance, my mouse might get another few years out of it, if it is possible.
No, but there is a related idea in the idea station pertaining to this:

Wow. How they didnt think of that by now is beyond me. Have you ever had one of those tiny little green dots that you can't remove or constrain? They drive me nuts. They say something about being part of fixed geometry. Why are they there and is there a way to delete?
99% of my drawings get used over and over. I use them as base files to copy and paste/modify into new files. Sometimes those little green dots get stuck in them. I want to be able to get rid of them, if at all possible.
I wish there was a much more in your face way of showing geometric constraints without having to tell it to show all over and over. Also, I've been frustrated that sometimes, like if I have a rectangle that's been constrained to some part geometry, that it's so darn difficult to unconstrain that corner. I end up having to basically break the rectangle in that corner, then reconstrain the ends of the lines together.
