I have an existing sketched curve and I want to make sure that the start point is set where I want it so that when I create a curve driven pattern it will behave like I want. This sketch has several children, so re-sketching isn't ideal.
However, the Sketch -> Feature Tools -> Start Point is grayed out.
How can I select a start pointy for my existing sketch?

Dean had the first part - You can't. OK, that wasn't really his answer, but that's the bottom line. His actual answer was:
"I think you need to be creating a feature (Sweep, SB etc...) and use the sketch within the tool not just a created sketch."
So, if I create the curve first I'm stuck with where ever I first clicked. However, if it's an internal sketch (and yes, you can create an internal sketch when creating a curve driven pattern), Ron had the answer there:
"You need to select (turn red) your end point you want then right mouse button and set start point"
