I am making lines in power drafting, drawing module (NX7.5).
Dimensioning lines to lines and some dimensions are driving and some not. I need to make all dimensions driving.
Sometimes works to remove all constrains from the line and it turns non-driving into driving dimension. But not always.
How i can turn each dimension to driving?

Pay close attention the location you pick on the line to dimension from. For example if you pick a mid point of line you can not put in a driving dimension from this location. Also up in your dimension style box you have a toggle to turn driving dimensions on and off. Just some ideas to check.
 
Why are you using 'Power Drafting'? This module is intended for people doing 2D Drafting where the Drawings are not part of a 3D design process or workflow.

I figured out the toglie "button" and many thanks for that picking point.

John, I am making a title block and sheat form for my drawings. templates provided are not the same as the company standard. Eh, every company has its own joke on that matter. it is just done and works perfectly (and no any training in this part of UG). That is what we need.
 
Simple method,
just make sure your selection filter should be DIMENSION ,
and select all dimension right click and select Convert to Driving dimension
