I wonder if one can use drive constraint in sketch mode for blocks as I like to visualise how the links move when one dimension changes.

Yes.

Post your file here if you can't figure it out.
I tried and not able to grasp the concepts well. As such, I attached the sketch here. I like to vary the angle of the link base from 115 deg to 65 deg and see how the link cam varies.
JD's tutorial is awesome. Here's an alternative that lets you drive sketch constraints without the expense of building an assembly. I've used it counless times building all sorts of mechanisms that often never get fruther than a concept - hence no assemblies, just sketches.
Try this:
This works really well with sketch blocks too. If you use skeletal modelling, you'll also appreciate that after using "make components", this iLogic form drives the assembly too.
