Sheet Metal - update sketch

Hi all,

 

When I've create a cylinder with sheet metal,

what are the steps for resizing the circle ?

 

If it was a full circle I could use the dimension tool to change the size,

but since it's a "sheet metal circle", the circle has a straight line and gap in it,

so I can't change the size in an easy way without loosing the sheep metal folding ability,

or is there ?

 

Probably an easy fix for the experts in here.

 

Can anybody help me with resizing the circle with the least steps ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps it's coincidence or not, but I've tried again and it does work now with the dimension tool,

without breaking the folding.

 

Last time when I tried to change the diameter with the dimension tool,

it messed up the folding.

 

Maybe sometimes it works and other times not ?

As long as the sketch is fully constrained it should resize without any problem. Just make sure everything is dimensioned even the line and gap.
