changing ref dimension to driving dim

Question is: how to change a Ref dimension in a sketch to a driving dimension? Selecting it shows the message : modifying reference dimension not allowed.

Thx
 
you have to delete those driving dimensions in order to make a reference dim into the driving one

steps are:
delete that reference dim
recreate it
proe will flag all driving dims as caution
delete some or all of those driving dims
when satisfied, the dim becomes strong
 
Doh... both a weak or strong dim can be changed to a ref, locked, or unlucked dim, but ref dim cannot be changed. Where's the logic in that. Oh well. Thx.
