Dimension Over Constrained

Hi!

 

I'm trying to model a computer mouse. After I finished making a first draft, I realized that the mouse was too tall and too long. But when I tried to change the dimensions, the program says that the sketch is over constrained. Which other dimensions or constraints do I have to change/delete before I can edit the height/length of the mouse in sketches 1 and 2? Much appreciated, thanks 🙂

You have lines that are green(Fixed), you need to unfix them.

Rather than use Fix you should constrain the construction rectangle to the origin to give more predictable edits.

Screencast demonstrates how to constrain the rectangle.

How do I change the height in sketch 2? It's still over constrained. Thx

It turns out I had another spline that was fixed. Thanks for your help
