I'm trying to make a solid model using a wax based rapid prototype machine, but wax has a tendency to not like press fitting. Therefore, I need to change the dimensions of a number of shafts and holes by a few hundredths of an inch.

Most likely, you're going to need to change the actual geometry, since dimensions aren't linked to the geometry components of the drawing.
AutoCAD is unique in that it's not a constraint based CAD package, every entity is independent... dimensions are set to points, not geometry. Once you change the geometry you'll most likely have to redimension everything you changed.
Sorry for the bad news.
