Can I convert a driven dimension into a constraint and viceversa?

[stefanome]

In the attached part there is a sketch with 2 dimensional constraints and one driven dimension.

Is it possible to select the driven dimension and one dimensional constraint and swap their "type"?

Often I study a (much more complex) sketch, and I look at some driven dimensions to see what happens when I change some dimensional constraints.

As I understand how the kinematics work, I want to convert a dimensional constraint into a driven dimension and a driven dimension into a constraint, and keep going with my analysis.

Is it possible to do something like that?

Thanks,

Stefano

Yes, but it's a two step process.  In the same area where you set Construction and Center linetypes in a sketch, there is also a toggle for switching a dimension from driving to driven.

You will need to first change the active dimension to Driven, then change the existing Driven one to active.  Trying to do it in the opposite order will give you an error that your sketch is overconstrained.
