Hi there,
I have no idea how to move a line.
For example (Figure 1), I'd like to move a line (red circle) 0.2 inches. But, when I used 'dimensions', I was only able to see a message about 'driven dimension'. What is that and how can I solve my problem?
My design is attached.
Thanks for your helps!
Have a nice day
Hi Hyu,
i have seen the file and one answer it will not help you a lot. I suggest to pass before on tutorials or manuals, just to clarify the software philosophy and the best workflow with Inventor.
Here you can find some interesting stuff:

First thing you have to realize is Inventor is not Autocad. Two completely different programs. Second, when you are in the sketch, you see that the darker purple lines are that color because they are what Inventor considers as completely constrained. So, if a line is unattached and not contrained you can just drag it. If it is constrained you cannot move it at all unless you have a dimension from the desired location to where the line is and all you would do is alter the dimension value.
I would strongly advise look at the tutorials in the program or go to youtube and seek out basic sketching videos.

Hi Mate
As discussed earlier, run through the help files and tutorials as the sketches have all been damaged.
There are a lot of Unresolved References in your sketches.
- Did you create some geometry, project it and then delete the original?
As mentioned previously, this is not like AutoCAD, do not delete any construction geometry after you have used it. (When you become more familiar with the software, then you can delete any unused geometry)
The direct answer to your question:
The Line in question has been Constrained to the "Missing Projected geometry” As soon as you delete all the Corrupted projected Geometry. (Purple Lines and points) you will be able to re-dimension and constrain your sketch.
I have just answered your direct question, but I strongly advise going through the tutorials.
