Change dimension values on a drawing sheet
(OP)
Can this be done in SolidWorks? If so how do you do it?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Change dimension values on a drawing sheet
If the dimension was placed manually using the Dimension tool, a single click will open the Dimension Manager, and the Primary Value > Override value option can be used.
Doing this will not affect the model size.
IMO this option should never be used to change a value. It is a bad practice hang-over from 2D drawing packages.

You would serve yourself well to go through the SWX tutorials, especially the drawing section. What you have asked for is a simple capability of SWX. If you go through the tutorials you'll find many other capabilities that will dramatically reduce your workload.

RE: Change dimension values on a drawing sheet
While drawing dimensions can be used to drive the models feature sizes, it is not the best method. Changing the features via their underlying sketch dimensions is the safest method, and preferably while in an assy so that the consequences of the change can be seen in relation to the mating parts.
