Simple Circle Diameter Change

Ok, this is pathetic, but I have a brain freeze.

Sketched a simple center circle and can change diameter by just dragging it.

If I now add a dimension I have constrained it, right?

How can I remove the constraint so I can again set a "new" diameter?

 

Using the "new" fusion UI. With the older version I thought one would use Modify > Change Parameters > change dimension listed in expression column, etc. But Modify does not have the Change Parameters any more.

The dimension 'drives' the circle diameter so...

  1. Edit the sketch with a double-click in the timeline (or right-click it & select Edit Sketch from the pop-up menu)
  2. Double-click the dimension and enter a new value.
  3. Exit sketch
  4. Voila!

Modify still has Change Parameters unless you're in Direct Model mode.

I was in the Design mode using the "new" UI. Could you show me where the "Change Parameters" is located?

I have been known to stand in the grocery isle looking directly at the product I wanted, and yet couldn't find it.

 

I better expand some on my original question. I was trying to increase the ID on a Spur Gear. So it really was not "just" a circle. I should have said that before in my original question.

What I ended up doing was making a slightly larger ID "ring" and cutting the gear some. It may have been easier to just make the gear from start.
