manual dimensioning in nx 7.5

manual dimensioning in nx 7.5

(OP)
How do I change a dimension manually using NX 7.5?  I'm trying to change the dimesions to letters in order to reference a cutout in a table elsewhere.

The first time you attempt this, a warning box will appear asking if that is really what you want to do.  You can then turn that box off for future edits.

thank you both for your replies but are you using 7.5?  That is how I used to do it.  It doesn't seem to work in 7.5.

Worked for me using NX 7.5, as mmauldin described it.

Thanks everyone!
I was selecting the dimension first.  I needed to select it after the commands.
Worked!
Thanks again!
