Dimension not updating in configuration

I have a configuration of 2 chairs one 25 inches wide the other a sette 52 inches wide. Sketch on top lane controlls the width of the piece. Front dimension and rear dimensions controll the plane I am extruding up to.

The rearward dimension updates between the two configuraions, the front dimension on the same sketch will not update, I even specify that configuration instead of just checking -this configuration - Anyone else have this business goin on in 08 SP3?



I am gonna create a seperate sketch for the sette next as it will nto update between the two configurations...
 
I just create the 2 planes at different widths with 2 different sketches and then pick that plane as the one to extrude up to in each configuration and that worked fine.

There are 2 lines on one sketch and one dimension updates between the configurations and the other just stays at 12.5 inches no matter which slection process i go through...

Hm. I think you are older than me (in SW). But a question: Are you verify the trouble dimension ? Is this dimension DRIVEN ?


Good luck !

thank you for the quick replies, I set up 2 planes in the beginning and that solved my problems. Most of teh time a little more work up front saves hours in the end.
