reference dimensions in a sketch

reference dimensions in a sketch

(OP)
Hello Everyone,

I am having an issue that just started somehow and am looking for some help to resolve. I am running ST2 and created a sheet metal part. I then tried to add a cut to the part and I am having issues dimensioning the sketch. Anytime I add a new dimension to the sketch it comes in as reference blue. I cannot make it a driving dimension for some reason. Is there an option somewhere to make the dimension come in as reference only? Thanks for any help!

Problem solved. Somehow I had clicked the "Smart Dimension - Driving" in the "Value" box.
