How to create feature-unrelated piloting dimensions

$

Hallo,

 

anyone knows whether it is possible to create dimensions (not necessarily related to a feature) that pilot other dimensions?

 

I make a (I hope) clear & simple example:

 

I extrude a bar which is 600 mm long, then with another extrusion (removing material) I cut off 200 mm. The final length is 600-200=400 mm

...is there a way to command directly the final length (and given the inizial length, the cut adapts to it)?

 

I know this could be done with parameters and relations, but I find it more immediate to see it as a dimension on the 3D model...

 

I think maybe this "pilot dimension" can be obtained with an annotation associated with a parameter??

 

thanks
