There's got to be a way... Here's what I'm trying to do:

I've got a sketch, and it consists of 4 different offset entities (i'm offseting the 4 boundary edges of a surfaces, and they're different offsets so I can make them different).

If I leave it at that, it's fine: I can modify the offset dimensions, and the entities moves as they should.

BUT: if i trim those offset entities so they form nice corners, I can't modify the offset dimensions. On top of that, the sketch is marked "undefined" (but if i didn't trim the offset entities back, the sketch would have been fully defined and modifiable).

What gives? There's got to be a way. I've even tried to leave it untrimmed, and make a 2nd sketch that coverted the offset entities and tried to trim that. But the 2nd sketch shows up as undefined, and doesn't follow the change of offset dimensions from the original sketch.

Thanks in advance!

Good, I'm happy it worked for you. Must have been a hiccup in the install...or something else.
Good luck
