Yes, as M. Krass said, there may be problems with the lack of constraints when you make the new sketch or even work with the old one, so just keep putting constraints and dimensions until every line is black, Because as my professor kept telling us "Black is beautiful"

I was going to say that too, but most of the extrusions and parts I have brought into SolidWorks from firstcadlibrary.com have all been considered "imported parts" and not able to be easily edited. This is probably the reason for the original question... If it were just as simple as to modify the length of the original feature in a dialog box of some kind, I don't think he would be asking what he is asking - but then again, you never know!
