Change dimension to create another part

I like to change the dimension of the length from 388mm to 400mm to represent another similar part with another part number.  Yet I still need the old part.

 

What is the easiest way to do so?  When I use 'save as" and then change the dimension, I need to recreate the dimensions in the dwg files.  Is there a way to avoid creating the dimensions?

 

I think I am not doing correctly.

Sorry to ask.  Any guidelines / tutorials for me to self-learn how to use the Design Assistant?

I-Parts is a good way to go. Give it a try.

Best Regards,
